Couple of things…. The plate at the bottom wasn’t quite big enough to cover the opening in the firewall and the column is too long in my opinion. Easy fix by adding a little sheet of aluminum to cover the gap, pulled the shaft and upper bearing and cut 4” off of the tube, reinstalled the bearing and shaft, then cut the shaft to length, welded on the coupler and now it’s perfect.
If I wasn’t lazy, I could have made my own but for the price, it isn’t a bad option.
