Industrial Strength Shrink Tubing for a '68 steering column
« on: May 03, 2013, 04:05:13 AM »
Saw something for this on the web some time ago and have lost the link. 

Anyone know where I can find this stuff?  Sleeve over the "accordion" section of the column.  Coming to the US and want to pick up a few and toss 'em in the suitcase on the way home...

Guess no one covers this detail... after a while of web searching found this.

In case anyone else needs to recover a torn/ragged collapsible column...

Parts finally arrived, and got it on.  Not quite as black as original, but far better than the scarred torn-up old one...

Nice find, it will look very original under the dash. What does it cost?

About $6 for one column.  It takes about 10 1/2" per, based on my examples, and if you order multiple feet it is one long piece...
