Hi all, I wanted to see if anyone had recommendations / experience with '69 tilt columns. I have two columns and two cars, one one that came with tilt and one I'm adding it to. I would like to get the tilt-away portion working on the original car, and have heard that sending the column out for inspection / lube is recommended even if the tilt works OK. Anyone have a recommendation on who to send it to? I saw the name Fastmerc when I searched online, and also heard West Coast Classic Cougar can perform a service on an hourly basis.
My other question is - how do you remove the cable for the tilt-away? I would like to use one of my columns as tilt-only, but it needs a cosmetic restoration (surface rust, re-painting, etc.) It's enough to where I need to disassemble the column as much as I can. I have had one of these mostly apart before so I know what I'm getting myself into. Is there a way to remove the cable without damaging it? I don't want to ruin the column just for the sake of a cosmetic restoration.
