Removed Column Shifter, but how do I keep it from rotating?

73 Duster. I welded a little piece of flat iron between the shift lever piece and the outer shell on the column.

Also, FWIW I smoothed my column as per theFABO "How to" articles. SUPER EASY, and turned out great - I have zero body working skills.
