Hi,
My name is Marcus, I am from the Netherlands. I've got my 73 Thunderbirds for 2-3 years now.
Been busy with lots of technical repairs due to bad maintenance from the last owner just to keep it on the road.
But now i've come to a problem thats not an easy fix.. its a bit of an understatement, because i can even find and parts...
The shift bowl of my tilt steering column broke. Nowhere to be found an aftermarket part.
Ive found 1 other similar column (Continental mark 3/4), but in worse condition than mine.
Tried a static (Ford LTD wagon, i believe it came from) column, but its way to short...
Maybe someone here knows what i can do to get my Thunderbird on the road again? Its been way to long since i took her for a nice cruise, and I am getting a bit desperate.
