85 Berlinetta Tilt Column Parts

I bought this car new, and I have worn out the tilt lever release lever inside the column - it is not repairable and no replacement exists, that I have found. Does anyone know where this part is available? This column ONLY has the tilt release on the left side (nothing else) and uses a flat 'Z' shaped lever - the insert inside the column is cracked. Any help would be appreciated - even a working column would suffice as long as it is for the Berlinetta. See attachments.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if I've got small parts to rebuild your original, but I've got a replacement column or 2,.... Let me see if I can find the small part you need. I'll re-post once I know for sure.

I checked,..... I do not have this part. If you need a complete column get back to me with your Zip code and I'll reply with more info ! Be sure to specify Cruise Control vs. no Cruise & auto vs. manual - obviously WITH tilt !

Re: 85 Berlinetta Tilt Column Parts

Thanks John in RI,
I have visited your site many times out of curiosity. Right now I am trying the "JB Weld" solution wrapped in aircraft safety wire .............. it looks promising, I'll know after it cures a full day.
If not - I will send you an email.
