Re: Older GM tilt column shift column

This took a bit of time, but ended up boxing 3/16 steel with bolts welded inside of the structure. Basically a spacer that bolts to the dash and to the factory column support.

My tig is loaned out to a friend, so had to mig this. I'm not sure if my helmet needs to be set lighter for mig welding. As I weld, I cannot see the path to follow as clearly as if I'm tigging.

I am not professing to be the finest welder, but the penetration is there.
