    My column is out of the car, all repainted and still has the original plastic sleeve on it. It looks to be hinged on one side (the 2 halves are connected) and then the other side overlaps and seems to be glued together. Hope that helps. Could post some pix too.

    George, from what u described, it sounds like your firewall mounting plate may not be in the right position. Here's some pix.

    Well........the bolts to tighten that round flange should be on the cabin side not in the engine bay side. Not sure what the problem is.

    Yes and the bolts are on the cabin side but it seems the plastic cover is getting interfered with that metal flange with the bolts,i dont get it either.

    Georgie,
    I just went out and took mine off to shoot you some pics, and something looks off with your new mounting bracket.
