I ground down a bit more than the thickness of the round plate. I didnt just use a washer to space it because the two wheels are the same thickness without an added washer and the horn plunger is a perfect fit. I happened to have some 5 min epoxy left and glued it on. Between the epoxy and future bondo... it shouldn't move. He said his hasn't separated in 8 years so I'm just copying him.

Couple pics, you can see how I copied the 70ish wheel.
Thanks Matt_50, maybe the "guy" will get back to you real soon. I'm following along as I have access to a '54 wheel that I could mount, with your help, to the '69 non tilt chevy stationwagon column that is in my '54 truck.

And yes Mr48chevy, the yellow column does look like the '69 column I mentioned above. I also have the shift indicator that I never mounted as I could not find a pointer that I liked. The pointer in the yellow picture is the type I would like to have. Clay
