ok i got this 82 gt for $600 and its got its problems. the steering setup is wacked out, thanks to the rednecks i got it from, they smoked the tires borke some shit and sold it....those bastards, so im saving it. anyway the two semi circle peices that wrap around the steering column are broke the one with the blinkers and shit i can find but the right side with the ignition, i dont know what it is called, ive tried all the junkyards around but found nothing, so if anybody knows what and where i can get it please tell me thanks, sorry for the story im working on pictures

[baine21225]

is the car in decent shape....600 sounds like a pretty good deal if it runs

[sniperrider]

yea its a 302 roller, with edelbrock intake and carb. the tranny was said to be shot....it would die when you let the clutch out, no matter what gear your in....so i towed it home with the driveline out, fuck around for a little bit with it, got not to die, put the driveline back in and i drive it to work sometimes...lol the tranny is shot but it works..

[baine21225]

nice

[sniperrider]

thanks but do you know what part i need?

[baine21225]

my steerinf column is help up by 2 half circle brackets with a flat ledge on each side, no relation to the multifunction switch, sorry i couldn't help

[sniperrider]

damn cause i can find the switch, and all i can find on the other side is the ignition, and a wire plug, not the mount

[Speedstang302]

nice pick up..i love those hoods...what bracket are you looking for i may or may not have it...for $600 if its under 150k miles..got a great deal..

[sniperrider]

well there is two pieces that wrap around the steering colum, one with the blinkers, which i have, and the other metel piece that the ignition is connected too which is the one i need

[baine21225]

how many junk yards did you check, i think that will be your best bet

[sniperrider]

ive checked the three within 30-40 miles of where i live, and in every mustang, of any year they are all gone....but i guess this is getting the time of the year where those dumbasses reck mustangs, just from the snow and being stupid, so one is sure to turn up, i just wish i could find the name of it so i could check craiglsit and shit

[95StangMX]

lemme get this straight you paid 600 bucks for this car and the steering colum is broken and the ignition is missing.........hhmmmmm........bet he lost the keys haha.........

[sniperrider]

no its just busted he had the key and everything but thought it was fucked...he only had one eye and was really wierd i drive it around but just want to fix it so the steering wheel doesnt flop up and down

[95StangMX]

I am just joking sounds and looks like a good buy bro.....good luck with the parts...what are you planning on doing with the car have any future mods planned?

[sniperrider]

im actually not going to do to much with it considering i have two to mess with already, but ill get her going again, do the interior tranny and any broken things, then sell it for say 2500 or so.

[5.0guy]

check with 5.0resto .com you should be able to find what you need there they have every stock part made for mustangs

[ujslost]

hey man I think I know exactly what your going thru, I think i went thru the same problem and I have the part you need. and your not gonna find it at a parts store, and the later columns are differant. Check these pics out and tell me if these are what you need.
Here is what my column looked like when i got my car.


I think thats the piece you want. When you take the blinker stalk off there are 2 1/2inch bolts that hold this tight. Take those out, take the ignition switch off, take the ignition lock cylinder out, if its still there! And you have to use a screw driver to acutate this piece and you will see the slider how it comes out of the steering column tube. This is a bitch really!
I actually have a tube with this part on it. would be easier for ya. just take your shit out and transfer it to this piece I have. If your intrested I will get a picture for ya. It has a brand spankin new ignition switch on it. And I have a lock cylinder with a key if ya want it also.
