When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread

I got my steering column centering clips. So I put the column back together mostly. My lower bearing which is a ER16 roller bearing has a sticky spot and you can feel it. So I ordered a new one of those.

Also to make sure the clips don't fall out. I ordered a 2.5 shrink wrap hose clamp to secure them. Then I put the paper cover over and secured it.
