I have a -71 steering column and spring washer was missing. Do someone reproduce them?

Let me know if you guys have an extra one available.  :bigthumb:

Are you certain you need the spring?  I just rebuilt mine and when I took it apart it didn't have the spring.  I asked Cody and he said some didn't have them.  Just my 2 cents.

I'm certain the spring is a 1970 only thing :alan2cents:

Good question... My factory book says it should be there but who knows... Column I have was pretty much untouched until I disassembled it and I was surprised washer was missing.
I guess it´s not a huge mistake if I put it back together without it...

That´s possible, spring in the picture is from my -70GC column.

hopefully Cody will chime in.  I'm sure he has the answer.

If you didn't have one already, you don't need one. Adding it will bind everything up.
