Hey guys just wanted to see if anyone has seen one of these reproduction column drops in the flesh ? I just saw this listing on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/1932-Ford-C...ash=item44040a1313:g:gdAAAOSw1WJZIgD7&vxp=mtr Its made by American Hot Rod Parts. Can the gurus have a look at the link and tell us what is different to an original. I think the keys are different to begin with ?? Thanks
I hope he supplies parts from it...the lever looks nice, and almost has to be cheaper than what's available now...he includes the ignition switch entire, and those parts are widely needed too. My last NOS ones actually came from Carpenter, and my understanding is that the replacement bits available now melt in action. Good ones would be great. The complete piece certainly looks good!
A really welcome and needed part. Hoping they sell repair parts as well. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Hey guys there's 2 more new column drops on at the moment, one with a Buy It Now on $395. I have bare drop, are all of the parts available to rebuild it ?? Sent from my iPad using H.A.M.B.
Dennis showed me the new column drop when I was at So-Cal on Thursday. They look perfect to me, I don't think you would be wasting your money buying one. I think all the parts will interchange with an original although I don't know if he's offering them at this time?
Hey Oz RHD, i was going to modify one to look like a rhd version. Sent from my SM-G900I using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Not sure how you would do that as the angle is quite a bit, I know RHD ones are hens teeth. about the only way would be to cut one up and reweld. Would be awful to do it to such a beautiful piece though...
I found my column drop, and it is more complete than i thought it was. Key is stuck and its missing the terminal plate. Is there anyone amongst the Hamb community who rebuilds these? Sent from my SM-G900I using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Been looking over a year for a column lock... the missing piece for mine. Just missed out on one recently listed in classifieds. The repro column drop looks good. If parts interchange, I sure hope they are willing to sell parts.
