1968 Upper Tilt/Away Knuckle

I’m sure this will be a futile hunt, but have to ask if anyone has one of these they’d be willing to part with. I’ve been on Don’s waiting list almost as long as I’ve owned my Cougar, and I’m at the point where I have to either fix/replace this or go with an aftermarket column. As you can see in the photo, both pivot tabs are broken off. I have it at a welding shop to see if it can be repaired, but he’s not holding out a lot of hope.

WCCC shows in stock? https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/tiltknuckle.html?sessionthemeid=26

Maybe this is an option?

Strange. That one didn’t come up when I searched, but this one did:

I’m on the notification list for this one and it’s $115 cheaper. Wonder what the difference is.

Edit: I see the difference now. The $313 item is the assembly. The other is the knuckle alone. I may have to go that route if the welder doesn’t come through. Thanks for the tip, guys.

I have a perfect condition one of these and also enough spares to make a complete column if you need anything else.
I was keeping them as spares for mine but I would like to help,enough of you guys have helped me out in the past.
It does mean sending from the UK though.


Dang! That’s generous. I should know early next week where I stand on the repair of my old one. I may be in touch to discuss terms if this doesn’t work out. Thanks!!

The welder was able to reassemble the knuckle, and I was able to get it installed without breaking anything. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to take a picture before I had it partially back together, but here are a couple of shots.

Thanks again for the input and the offer.
