I'm trying to put together a friction steering damper for my 88ss project and my collection of parts is coming up a bit shy of complete. I've only been able to find one exploded view in the spare parts list for '55 Dominators (plate JJ), and one pic of the kit sold by Norvil.
My parts pile has got just about everything short of part #75 in the drawing, and I'm wondering what that part does. The part is missing in the descriptions, of course.
It looks like the part sits under the star spring on the adjustment rod and bridges over to the threaded hole in the lower yoke. Is it just as simple as that it's threaded onto the adjustment rod and provides the spring pre-load, when the knob or wingnut is tightened? If that is the case, how does it anchor to the yoke and allow for some vertical movement for the adjustment? Just slides on a bolt with an unthreaded shoulder?
Does anyone have one they can provide a photo of? Is this part steel or aluminum?
The knob I've got has seen better days too. Does anyone have a wingnut they'd part with?
Thanks for the help,
Todd
