Steering column collar swap

I used a hack saw to cut the biggest of the shift lever mount the used a grinder to get the rest. I stuffed a paper towel in the hole and worked it around til it was pretty even as far as depth in the hole. The plug doesn't need to be very thick. Mix the j-b weld and let it set a little bit so its not so runny before you put it in. After the j-b weld dried over night I used a piece of wire and dug the paper towel out through the bottom. What little bit that stays on the j-b weld doesn't hurt anything. The shift indicator just takes a little shaping with a small grinder after you cut the biggest part of it off. Then a little body filler to smooth out the rough edges. Make sure you secure the bottom ring in the park position or the key won't go back to the lock position. I went on the bottom were you can't see it, drilled a 1/8" hole through the bottom collar and the inner tube. I then drove a roll pin in just far enough to enter the hole in the inner tube and ground the pin flush with the outside of the collar. If you need I can take a pic of the roll pin installed if you want to see it.
