| Mopar Fans:
Thanks for all the help you gave me on the steering wheel dilemma. I got some 1/2 inch 20 Th. nylon lock nut but they seamed a little high so I chased down a place for the castle nut but they only came in mm. Then the guy said try a Jam Nut ,1/2-20Z NTE. I set it side by side with the castle nut and the height was dead on. However I noticed the castle nut had a slight circular machined space on the bottom. Anyway I was able to get the Jam Nut, I had to buy a whole bag as they do not sell single nuts and bolts ( about $6), started on the column end. I than backed it off and was able to get the Castle Nut to work on the column.
I got them from the Fasten-al Distributor who is a mile from my house. The part number for them is 1137132. Very helpful people. I still have a lot left over.
Once this was resolved it was time for a road trip to Branson, MO from SC. Nothing like a week in the Show Me State to take the edge off!!!!!!
Again, thanks for everything.
Now back to the Project.

1965 Coronet 500 440CI yep sure did, and if you want to get fancy you could even get a nut with a nylon locking ring in it,,, In a message dated 10/9/2011 8:27:22 P.M. Central Daylight Time, dodge440@xxxxxxx writes: Dodger'
Did you mean 9/16 bolt
Jim is either a 1/2 or 9/19 bolt, and will be fine thread, go to you local hardware store and get one of each, should be less than a dollar for the pair,,,,,, In a message dated 10/9/2011 6:43:30 P.M.

I pretty much stay on eBay at work, I think if I'm not mistaken, I saw
a couple of auctions with the washer and nuts for the steeringwheels.
I always look up 63 and 64 dodge I don't remember which it was under.
I'll do a search and see if I can find something. If not ima take a
look in my shop, I know I have a few from Chevys and a newer dodge,
I'll have to compare to what I have on mine. I dont know what car you
have if that matters.
