Help needed with Steering Damper re-install.

[heinz wittenbecher]

I've been running without the steering damper in place for many moons, ever
since and aftermarket damper failed.

While some say it doesn't do anything GM must've had a reason to use it
so I'd like to re-install the original rather than another aftermarket if
possible.

Anyways... I have a damper (Moog) but none of the parts required to attach
it and how and where to attach it. ( The manuals are somewhat vague ).

I called Cinnabar but no luck on the attachment brackets, but perhaps I can
manufacture them.

However, as I don't have the first clue of what goes where and how, I'd like
to impose on someone that has a digital camera to perhaps take a few picture
for me and either post them or email them.

Or if you know a site that already has them, so much the better.

Thanks in advance

P.S. With good ol' 20/20 hindsight... I now ask for any and all parts
removed for whatever the reason.

Heinz:

You may want to call Dale Anderson 815-485-2462. I believe he is the one
parting out three coach's?
