The Dodge Challenger Message Board

I apologize for asking so many questions, but please realize I bought this puzzle in pieces, and have never put one together. Even the shop manual doesn't cover everything. Here is my dilemma.
I got the steering column hooked up to the steering box, secured the firewall plate and then bolted it to the column bracket. Every thing looks cool. Then I got ready to put in the dash frame and realized I needed to back out the steering column bracket from the studs so the frame can slip inbetween the steering column brackets. No problem. I'll just back out the
studs and it will slip in, then I realized I had new studs and some spacers that I have no idea where they belong.
PLEASE try to fill me in on where these green spacers and the spring bracket fit. I didn't have these in my puzzle box when I bought the car. It looks like the green plastic pieces have slots where they slide onto the brackets somewhere. I just don't know where. I am including pics on where I am on this and the pieces I am talking about.
I need to have this figured out by tomorrow.
Again your help is greatly apprecaite.

i have i should be able to post tomorrow, perhaps a pic but the belong on the steering column at or near the mounting points most people discard them ,i have but i think they are on my wifes cuda i will get back ta ya

those plastic parts are vibration insulators for the steering column

, they are a pain to install,and the restrict the adjustment of the column it self,

i have discarded mine cause due the lack of adjustment of the column,

if you want to use them i will try to find a column with them installed

they go in the slot on the ears on the sides,and the long stud from the dash goes through that to hold them in .
