Back to this subject again. Does anyone know where to get replacements for the special lock washers that held the toggle switch onto the deadbolt? The one I have came out in pieces. The part keeps the toggle from wobbling too much on the deadbolt. Any advice on a source for these would be very helpful. ALSO: Has anyone ever seen any detailed drawings and/or parts lists for these very cool old column drop/steering locks? I've seen a number of the drops, which changed through the years, but I've never seen any literature that's specifically about them -- in contrast to the body of material about Columbia overdrives, transmissions and other components. Any information about this would also be much appreciated, by myself and others. Larry Lange Puget Sound Regional Group

I think Baxter's Ford Parts, (785) 842-9256, rebuilds these locks. You might try them. Charlie Stephens

Don Rogers made a great detailed "exploded view" drawing of the '35-'36 column drop that shows all the pieces and parts . It also gives good instructions on how to take them apart and put them back together. If I can find my copies, I'll post them here. If Ford or anyone else ever officially published something like this, I have never seen it.

Larry, Here are some notes that I made a while ago that should help. I am also including an exploded view of an assembly drawn by Gary Tossel a while back.

Looks like Don got to this before I did. Thank you Don! However, I can not remove this reply and the picture added here. John

In Gary's exploded view (above) are you looking for part #8? If so, you will have to make it since there does not seem to be any reproductions and I have not found a source of originals. There are no special washers that I am aware of. The ignition switch is held to the rear of the column drop with just two #8-32 countersink head screws (parts #4 in the details above).

2 articles from the V8 times might be helpful vol. 39 [2002], issue 5, pg 15-16: removing the steering lock ass'y vol. 40 [2003], issue 1, pg 7-8: follow-up comments sounds to me like someone put lock washers in place of the small flat spring [part no. 12]
