oldskool , this the bearing type I use on steering columns ,  https://www.vxb.com/3-4-UCFL-204-12-2-Bolts-Flanged-Housing-Mounted-p/Kit16836.htm?gclid=Cj0KCQiAx9mABhD0ARIsAEfpavQPxQNpN--9ub7Y6bGSrVcURccHmWmUS1YWYbX0hWQ8WrgqUj3KXoAaAqimEALw_wcB  internet pricing is about 7 $ , there are a number of this type of flange bearings on this site , flange is so solid , that you can build a brace off of it , which is what I did , firmed up the entire dash area, pete

You had better spend more time on your Charger12.  She will get the job done a lot fast and back inside for a hot toddy

Meh...

Not much for snow season left. 

Really won't speed much up for me here because I can't run full speed forward. Faster reverse would be nice though.

Thanks Mike.

 

I was on McMaster Carr looking for something else and I saw that they sold handles and knobs so I scrolled down through their assortment....
