I figured out the problem with my '74 MK III Midget steering column. You may recall from the other thread here that I had to remove the column to extract a broken key from the ignition. When we re-installed the column, a sliding yoke part that cinches up to the knurled nut outside the firewall wouldn't stay in place -- it just slid down the front end of the rack.
WHAT HOLDS THIS YOKE IN PLACE:
In the photo, you can see the little square-ish retainers that fit in the grooves in the lower end of the column. These retainers keep the yoke from sliding around. Both of mine are shot, worn out:
Check out the grooves in the column, above. These retainers fit in the groove. Where might I find these little retainers? Moss doesn't seem to sell them:
