Missing part from 1650 tube assembly

[Jim Saunders]

Just recently purchased a 1650. Finally got the thing running and discovered that the Cam follower and lock nut are both missing from the tube assembly. They are both located on the steering lever which attaches to the steering assembly. The cam follower is used to eliminate backlash. Hope that there is no damage. Any ideas where they can be found and purchased?

Thanks Digger, can I assume that the upgrade kit for the steering assembly is good for the 1650. Do all of the 1650s have the 70 -782 steering column? Looks like one could almost fabricate on of these? My service manual shows just a cam follower and lock nut?

Yes
No
Guess you can make anything you want.
The manual is correct.
