Re: Older GM tilt column shift column

I used a column from a 1980's GM. Had the same issues you are dealing with.

In my build thread posted below on page 21 or post number 522 you can barely see some angled shims I made to correct the dash to column mount.

A couple pages earlier, I showed how I made the mounting cover piece.

I used a floor mount dimmer to get rid of the switch mounted on the column.

Also removed the ignition switch too.

Cleaned up the column to look like there never was an automatic trans lever and smoothed over the ignition switch boss also.

Following along in the build thread I show pics of cleaning up the GM column.

Hope this helps, Jim
