Install the flat spring in the rack channel in the coffee pot.

Install the steering lock bolt to the rack. See pic below.

Install lock bolt and rack assy up into underside of coffee pot. Lightly lubricate back of rack and flat spring with some Moly or HTB grease.

Now install rack drive gear onto pin in end of ignition barrel housing and align large tooth on gear with corresponding large space on rack. See pic below.

Push the gear onto the pin until it locks into place on the pin. Also lubricate the gear pivot pin before installing the gear.

 

Now install coffee pot to steering column.

Set the ignition electrical switch into the lock position and lock it off with a 3/32" pin inserted into the locking hole in the upper end of the switch housing.

Now install the switch onto the lower end of the ignition actuating rod and bolt the ignition switch onto the steering column.

 

Next take your ignition barrel and insert the key into the lock. Install the ignition barrel into the housing in the coffee pot in the lock position.

Apply light pressure to the ignition barrel and turn it until the barrel engages with the drive gear and the retaining tab on the barrel casing clicks into place.

 

Now loosen the ignition switch on the column and ensure the ignition key is in the lock position and remove the key so the ignition remains locked. Tighten up the ignition switch to column bolts and remove the 3/32" locking pin from the switch and presto, all done and adjusted.

Should also add, lightly lubricate the steering lock bolt and the rack teeth.

 

edit: I'll post up details tonight of a tool people can fabricate that makes installing the upper steering shaft circlip a snap.
