I added duct tape around attach points, foam on under side of faux speaker cover (were it would contact connector blocks). I added two rubber washers to the steering nacelle so when steering is biased (as in a bump) it didn't contact the instrument panel and make a noise. The tach didn't have needle rest point to clean and the slightest twisting motion would send the needle off the pin. Cleaned the three brass electrical posts with Brasso.
In the test run you could hear and feel a scraping sound when the steering wheel was turned. Checking in the garage you could see the pinch collar where it contacted the steering column mount abrading silver flakes off the mount as they fall to the mat. There is supposed to be a bushing in there (and one on the steering wheel side). I guess it wore down to were the pinch collar contacted the mount. I've oiled it and took it for a test run (in T-shirt as summer arrived today). Seems fine now. Maybe every one should give that area a shot of oil.
