Question Urgent bearing help needed

I have a car show next week and the steering column upper flange bearing went out. I see where everybody has the other two bearings C7SZ-3517-C which I already have for a winter rebuild job on the column.

But need to find the steering column upper flange bearing which is the one directly below the spring which sits next to the steering wheel

It is on a 1968 Mustang with tilt away steering..


Can anybody help me ?

He got back with me and suggested that somebody on the forum might be able to locate a new one.
If anybody has the OE part number, I might be able to get the dimensions and try and locate one with the same. As it isn't a high stress area..

yup, probably the same shop i sent you to last time that could get you the other tilt piece you wanted in good condition for half the price you found a rusty one for elsewhere, but as with the tilt piece, the bearing may be more than you might think its worth or want to pay, i have no idea.

he should also have the orig part number.
