Re: 110 Shifting Column Levers

A few years ago motor city region of PAC was going to reproduce the levers but vendors said they had a good inventory of NOS. As far as I know that is still the case. Does the lever actually have play if you try to twist it or can you feel or see a space between the lever and shaft. The clearance should be minimal and usually is because rust and corrosion form so easily and can lock the upper lever to the shaft. Does the shaft look worn in the area where the levers are positioned?

The only upgraded pot metal lever I can remember reading about was a repro made out of bronze or brass and that was for the manual valve lever used in the 55-6 twin Ultramatics. Packard did issue a set of new column levers for the early Clippers but those were made because of the space where the selector tongue operates. In the early levers the space was too wide so there was play in the linkage. If you can provide more info on the bulletin you came across that might have a part number maybe someone can come up with a pair for the 110.
