Examine and renew
if
necessary, the two rubber
bushes of the lower support bracket and ensure that
the distance tube is fitted.
4.
Examine the large circlip and groove into which
it seats at the base of the column. The circlip and
groove must be clean and free of paint, the circlip
should be checked in the groove to see that it will seat
correctly.
5.
Fit the column through the rubber grommet in
the toe-board. Take extra care not to knock either
end of the
inner column, thus causing possible damage
c
to the injected plastic rivets, rendering the column
cl
userviceable.

Temporarily fit the knee pads to either side of

the column. Also, temporarily fit the lower half of
the cowl on to the column and centralise the bottom
o[
edge of this with the knee pads. When this position
IA
has been achieved, remove the lower cowl and trim
and tighten the upper mounting bracket screws.
10.
Making sure that there is no pre-load on the
bolt of the lower mounting bracket, measure the gap
between the centre washer and the capsule using
feeler gauges, and add to the measured gap
0-28 in.
(0,71
mm.)
for rubber compression.
Refer to the following chart for washer selection.
I
Note These washers are slotted to enable them
I
to be inserted without the necessity of
having to remove the cap screw.
It is permissible, if there is a shortage of slotted
adjustment washers, or, if a large quantity of washers
have to be fitted, that a plain washer similar to the
ones fitted beneath the nut and head of the cap screw
be substituted for every two adjusting washers re-
quired. The substitute
washer(s) must be situated at
the capsule side of the adjusting washers
