I had attached one photo of the new column and a close-up shot of each end, but some how they did not appear on my last post above.  I do not know why? What do I need to have photos appear on this Forum?

Off the shelf bushes would have made this project less time consuming, but I could not find anything that would fit the undersized .872" end. I tried a stock bush and press fit it into an undersized hole in the new stainless column, but the results were not what I found acceptable.  

The existing column is 1 1/4" OD and I wanted to keep it that size to fit everything else on the car.  I believe I have have a great solution now and it looks great too.

If I can figure out the photo thing, I'll edit my post and include them.

Arthur,
Your problem is the file size. The smallest one is 640, max size allowed is 600. So they just don't fit. I just set my camera for the size that fits, that way I don't have to resize, which can be a pain.

It's a good looking steering column. Much nicer than the bulky things MGB's come with.
