Steering Coupler and Headers

I am sure I'm not the first guy who went to re-install his steering column and found that the steering coupler hits on one of the header tubes. Is there a fix for this other than denting in the tube on my very nice looking ceramic headers? Is there a replacement coupler that has been used or is there a better way to take care of this problem. This is in my 68 Barracuda with power steering. Take a look and see what I am dealing with, any help would be much appreciated.
