I am replacing my upper column bushing pictured below. The original pot metal bushing measures 1.622 and is a nice press fit using ye ole thumb to install in the column housing. The worn re pop bushing i just removed is also that size, a nice press fit. Now here comes the kicker
The new replacement measures 1.630 no good, you can't fit a round large peg in a smaller hole. Just a quick note the one i removed was for the early style column with the 2 screws to hold it. This is the later column that uses the notch and dowel set up. So i called Jeff @ Brattons and he measured his in stock pieces early style and late styles. They also measured 1.630, so then he checked the Ford blue print and that says 1.630.
So what do you think is going on here??
