How does your broomstick go?
Hello Gang,
I'm referring to the long steering column piece in '67 and earlier cars. The one that extends to nearly the fuel tank. Does your broomstick lay flat on the trunk floor or is there a gap? Mine has a gap and there is a fair bit of space (about a finger's width) between the bottom of my dash (where the tacho sits) and the top of the switch box (that thing with the steering shaft and wiper and indicators switches).
Help me out here. I'm having my car in pieces to chase this ghost.
By the way, some dude Down Under told me I had to remove my fuel tank to change my brake master pump... I pulled it out and nope.... I don't see my master cylinder. Am I missing something? The master pump is accessed from the bottom, right?
Thanks.
Sprint.
'67S.

Unless things are arranged totally differently on your RHD model, the MC is accessed from beneath the car by pulling off the gravel shield under the steering rack (4 bolts). It is not necessary to remove the fuel tank.
As far as your steering shaft goes, I have no idea what a RHD installation looks like, but as I said the last time you asked this question, there is very little gap between the dash and the steering column in my LHD '67S (maybe 1/4" max.) Maybe Andy or Nick from the UK can comment on the RHD model configuration.
