1969 Non Tilt Steering Column Rebuild
I was going to post some pics of my steering column rebuild but I have hit a snag.
There are two foam seals that seal both the inner tube and outer tube. I ordered the seals from MuscleCar Research and the outer seal installed fine however, I am unsure about the inner seal. I am not 100% sure where it goes and when I installed it on the column shaft, it prevented the shaft from turning inside the inner column.
Does anyone have any good pictures or a good description of where this seal goes?

Pic 2-Plastic retainer on outer column and corresponding holes
Pic 3-Foam seal installed in outer column
Pic 4-Inner column installed in outer column
Pic 5-'exploded' view of columns and seals
The black seal in Pic 5 (far right) on the column shaft is where I am having trouble.
