steering mask replacement

[Rodney Bullock]

I am now looking for some kind of replacement for the steering mask seal for my 1940 Plymouth I can't seem to find something to use in it's place. The show at the Amory is fast approaching. I got to find something anybody got any ideas?

Steering mast? As in column?

Rodney,

  Here's what I used on my P15.  Hurst shifter boot. Certainly doesn't look like the original, but does the job.  A bit of trimming & cutting required, but fairly easy to do.

Rodney, do a search, Greg G posted some photos of a good idea awhile back.

 

I take it the man that was going to reproduce them in the other thread about this subject didn't follow through?

found this item on the ebay that also might work for but is not factory but will go around the steering tube to give a clean look at the floor

 

enter this in the ebay search:  FLOOR MOUNT for Steering Column street rod interior chrome model t ford 1932FLOOR MOUNT for Steering Column street rod interior chrome model t ford 1932  the cost is about 75  but then you do not have to remove the shaft to installthe seal and adapts to the angle of the column and this could be mounted on the outside of the floor mat or carpet if you have this in your car.

Try Dave Kruse at 909 - 239 - 7932 and krusn64@aol.com . Dave made lots of rubber parts for the man that did the perfect restoration of 41 car with instructional video as he went.

I've seen a house roof penetration seal used too. I don't know the official name, it is the thing that keeps the various plumbing and vent pipes from leaking.

Here"s a previous thread from the OP on this same topic & what I did in post #3. Don't have a pic of it installed, but you get the idea.
