ColumnReprise

More on that column.  I forgot to note a difference in the top spacer 
directly beneath the plastic horn contactor.  Most types use a large 
locking disk with edge cutouts (this accomodates the locking pin).  
One of my samples has a smaller disk, effectively a bushing only.  It 
supports only the top ring clip and no column lock.  This is my 
favorite as I detest column locks (let me add door locks and column 
key switches to the pile ... but I advocate and use seat belts).  
There is little theft risk out here in the woods ... and I know of no 
one who wants my Scout at any price.  So, no need for an ignition key 
... two wires and a twist tie will suffice please ... simplify, 
simplify, simplify.  All this dribble is to ask if anyone has ever 
seen the column ring I mention?  Perhaps it requires a different 
style of plastic horn contactor beneath it?  While at it, I have 
measured the various ring clip land positions of my shafts if anyone 
cares.  More to surely follow.  Mark
