I am going to overhaul/restore the steering column lock mechanism on my '32 Ford. Has there ever been any printed material/information on this subject? I would appreciate any information, ideas, experiences, etc.
Thank you in advance
 
Don Rogers had directions up for the 35-36 column drop. His description should work for the 32. The retaining pin for the lock cylinder is much smaller than the 36 and later columns. You have to use much smaller hardware to pull the pin and it can be replaced with the removed pin or a set screw. I can not locate the directions.
 
 
Attached is a pic of the components (missing one part). Someday, I want to number these parts so I can send this pic to others and reference a certain piece.
Assembly is pretty easy once you get the order of operations down. I am doing one now using Chad's On/Off switch plate and handle. If anyone has spare parts that are original, I am interested in buying certain parts (see why I need a pic with numbers?)
