Subject:Re: Steering column cover needed

Eric, I have a spare set of black ones, if you’re interested!
But I need to hijack the thread (for a related topic.) 

P.O. had two COMPLETELY different screws connecting the upper and lower assembly pieces of the steering column housing. 

Thing is that while I have the part # and dimensions of the OEM screws, they’re not something I can just grab at Ace. 

Anyone have a spare set that I could snag?
