Title: Nasco gear leaver lock
Post by: Pahs59 on August 10, 2020, 10:05:10 PM
Will a gear leaver lock for a FB EK fit onto a FC steering column and also does anyone know where I can get the shear bolts for the same,I’ve been searching for weeks on the net and have come across plenty but not the length or thread I need...they have them on eBay but a bit expensive at $150 for two of them...

Hit the post button too quick  ::)
Yes, FB EK lock will fit FE FC column
Also, you could use regular bolts with maybe an Allen key, or other weird head

I understand EJ/EH owners have used these on their  Nasco steering locks, just need to check thread size.

Yes checking the thread size closely would be essential. You would have thought that these late Falcon bits should be metric.

8mm x 1.25 looks very similar to 5/16" UNC

I’ll give them a try..for $13 delivered even if the don’t fit I’ll use them on something..the only thing that might be a problem is the length of the head that breaks off might not be long enough to get a spanner or socket between it and the lock housing

Hi Pahs 59,
Try a locksmith shop. If they are 5/16" I"m pretty sure there is something similar we use on ORB lockable Bolts and are approx 2 and 1/2" long. They are called break off bolts.
Regards brett

Hi Pahs59,
They are called dome break off bolts for an ORB Bolt. Not many locksmiths shops stock these anymore but should be able to get them for you. The company is still operating and there are still distributors stocking them. Check them out on the internet. Write ORB Bolt break off bolts. I believe that they are what you are looking for and they are not expensive.
Regards Brett
