CORVETTE 1965 1966 TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN, R.P.O N-36 + V-74 (4-WAY FLASHER)

Description

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND AND UP FOR CONSIDERATION IS THE R.P.O. N-36 TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN COUPLED WITH THE V-74 FLASHER SYSTEM OPTION FOR A 1966 CORVETTE.
EVERY TELE COLUMN I DO IS COMPLETELY RESTORED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, INSIDE AND OUT.  EACH AND EVERY PIECE IS REFINISHED OR PLATED AS ORIGINAL.  THIS LISTING IS FOR A COMPLETE SET UP AND INCLUDES THE ODOMETER RETRIP BRACKET AND MOUNTING HARDWARE.  ALSO INCLUDED IS A RESTORED AND FULLY RIVETED RAG JOINT OR COUPLER THAT IS UNIQUE TO THIS OPTION AND IS DIFFICULT TO LOCATE IN SATISFACTORY, USABLE CONDITION.  YOUR PURCHASE INCLUDES A NEW HORN BUTTON, CHROME LOCK RING WITH THE PLASTIC RING INSULATOR, AND TURN SIGNAL HANDLE.  I TYPICALLY REPLACE THE SWITCH ASSEMBLY AND INSTALL A NEW LOWER MAIN SHAFT WITH PRECISION CUT SPLINES.  EVERY COLUMN COMES WITH A CORRECT COLOR AND PROPER LENGTH WIRING RIBBON.  WHEN INSTALLED WITH THE FLASHER SYSTEM, THE WIRING IS CUT BACK SHORTER AND IS ATTACHED TO THE COLUMN WITH BLACK CLOTH TAPE THAT I PROVIDE WITH THE UNIT.
THE FLASHER SYSTEM IS ALSO FULLY RESTORED AND FUNCTIONAL TESTED IN A 1966 CORVETTE.  YOU GET EVERYTHING TO FIT IT INTO YOUR CAR INCLUDING THE LITTLE WARNING TAG.
I PROVIDE YOU WITH A MULTI PAGE SET OF DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR AN EASY AND ENJOYABLE INSTALL.  MY RESTORATIONS ARE CURRENTLY INSTALLED ON SEVERAL BLOOMINGTON GOLD AND TOP FLIGHT CORVETTES.  FOR OWNERS ATTEMPTING THE DIFFICULT N.C.R.S. PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION TEST, YOUR TELE COLUMN WILL PROPERLY FUNCTION AS DESIGNED AND AS EXPECTED!  THANK YOU.
(ADDED ON JANUARY 18, 2021). I HAVE HAD SEVERAL MEMBERS ASK ME IF I WILL SELL THEM THE
COUPLER/RAG JOINT INDEPENDENTLY AND THE ANSWER IS NO.  I PROVIDE ESSENTIALLY A BRAND NEW PIECE.
IT TAKES SEVERAL HOURS TO CLEAN, REFINISH, AND ASSEMBLE THE COUPLER USING CORRECT HARDWARE. THERE IS A TRICK TO IT THAT I HAVE DEVELOPED FROM TRIAL AND ERROR AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO DO IN ORDER TO GET IT RIGHT.
I WILL ALSO NOT SELL A USED COUPLER.  VERY FEW TELE COUPLERS HAVE SURVIVED IN USABLE CONDITION. THEY ARE OVER 55 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO ENGINE HEAT, OIL, GASOLINE AND THE ELEMENTS. THE NATURAL RUBBER RAG MATERIAL USUALLY RIPS OUT UNDER THE REINFORCEMENT KEEPERS AND IS HARD TO DETECT.  MY COUPLERS ARE NEW AND SAFE AND I USE ORIGINAL UPPER AND LOWER FORGINGS.
INSTALLING A USED COUPLER IS FOOLISH AND UNWISE NOT TO MENTION DANGEROUS.
