Steering column problems
I have found that the bearings on the steering column are completely use, there is a bearing at the bottom and a bearing at the top







I have found solution to repair the bearing at the top
Thanks to Lorne: http://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/steeringcolumnbearing.html

I have bought the kit from John Worrall, Heart of England



And for the bearing at the bottom i found on the on German Morgan forum an idea with Self-aligning ball bearings 2205



i have constructed 2 flange where the bearing is stuck between







the telescopic shaft on the bottom has to be adapt on a engine lathe for the bearing diameter 25mm
and the end parts has to be cut


And here the result

For goodness sake, put it all back together again before you forget where those bits came from. Having said that, it does look like you have everything under control.

Good work.

I just replaced my whole steering column as I Ould not source the lower bearings. I got a fully reconditioned one from Brands Hatch Morgan. No link just a satisfied customer.

Great idea! What's the size of the bearing at the bottom?
