Mal,
Oh yes, I have indeed been following that thread.
I believe I have all the correct pieces, and that they all work. However, it is determining the zero point that will help. For example, at what clock position on the steering wheel should the hand throttle be located for zero throttle. This will ensure that I don't put the throttle in a bind. I do not want to find out the hard way as those pieces in the steering column and base are expensive and rare!
Any pics would be great. Oddly enough, there is a photo in the link above that shows exactly where my old one broke and was re-welded incorrectly. Owen D. circled that exact spot. I have shown that photo below.
I did obtain another one from a fellow 33 owner, but have yet to install it.
