What size are the machine screws that hold the steering column collar on?

Are they left-hand or right-hand threads?

are you talking about the phillips head screws that hold the 2 poeces of the collar together or the 2 square headed bolts and locknuts that hold the assembly to the column tube?

The square bolts are special items and Ice is probably the only guy that has any of them. I have an extra set but they're not for sale.
I'm pretty sure the screws are either 8-32 or 10-32's.

millions of them in the bone yards. even the most rusted hulk with a steering column has them. ford cars used the same ones.

Ice. You've been out in the cold to long. We crush old cars down here in the lower 48. Get 'em while you can.

Tragic but true..... (the part about crushing, not about Ice being cold too long. That's just about ..... well is it tragic? true??)

I am talking about the phillips screws. Are they a #6-40? I have some #6-32 that look to be the right size, but they don't thread in.
