68 Super Bee

Hmmm, maybe I didn’t post it in the right place? First time I’ve ever gotten ZERO response on this site…….nobody can give me a good measurement of my Inner Steering Column Shaft (from end to end) once the plastic shear pins are in there proper position?? 1968 Super Bee / Floor Shift / No ignition Column…….hmmmm??

Maybe put it in the brakes/suspension/steering section. Also the section pertaining to your vintage.

Yes sir, it’s in that group…..crickets,crickets, crickets

I didn’t know the measurement so I didn’t respond but on my 70 I dissembled the column, pushed out the sheared off plastic pins, lined up the holes, installed a steel roll pin in one of the holes and then reassembled.
Keeps it the correct length and I feel like it would still collapse in a collision.
My 2 cents

From @hunt2elk
On 1969 models, power steering shaft is 41.5" and the manual shafts are 44.5". I would think they were the same in 1970? Maybe not though as the key moved to the column in 70, and things may have changed.

Lol, I just saw this thread and was going to dig out my notes from years ago. You saved me some time.

Thanks for the response…..and thats my issue, I don’t have a Hole, on the inner shaft to match the hole on the outer shaft. From what I can tell, the inner shaft has more of a “slot”, meaning I could be off when putting in a new pin…..hence that’s why I was looking for a measurement. My luck, I will be off enough, to not know until it’s fully back installed in the car.
