I know this topic has been covered before, but I thought this may be helpful to others. I have a little amount of play in the steering column and have decided to do the mod using the pressed steel housed bearing as below. I found the bearing on e-E-bay for £5.90 inc postage which I think is a good price. SBPFL205 - SLFL25 is the part number. I simply entered "pressed steel bearing housing" in the search and got loads of results with lots of options.

is this the one down in the footwell? mine is currently rubber and has a habit of popping out. how easy was it the replace if so?

Thats the link that shows you how. They are hard to get at, well mine is, its under the pedal box if you attack from the engine bay or down the footwell from inside the car. You need U/Js in your arms and they need to be 6 foot long. :crazy:

I guess once the column is seperated it may be done from engine bay? if not i will have a small child on standby to crawl into the footwell ;

I plan to do mine over the winter along with a few other mods. Car now on SORN. I think if I remove the brake servo and master cylinder I should have enough room. (Famous last words).

It's certainly isnt easy but its doable ,I took the master cyl off [ braided pipes] and found the guy who built my car had mounted the bearing on a seperate plate bolted to the bulkhead makes life much simpler mower man :crazy:

This is how I did mine:

 

4 bolts through the bulkhead:

Bearing on plate with bearing bolt heads welded to plate:

when I built my 2b I put the original ford bearing on a separate plate so fitting the above bearing was still a bit of a pig to do must have taken at least 30 mins to fit :)

i tried doing my 2b and i gave up ! would have needed the engine taken out to gain access. the exhaust manifold and and brake servo were in the way, to remove the exhaust on mine was an engine out job.
