Are these correct factory weld locations?

Disassembling my steering column and could use a bit of guidance. Looking for measurements for proper factory weld locations, would like to get as close to OE as possible.

That is crazy! Better than the jacked up motor mount with a bolt under welded to the k-frame I had.

I wish I had thought of that. What a great idea.

I don't think those were welded on, just pinched or crimped

No welding their just a snap cover

Yeah sorry I was just being funny. I had to use a cutoff wheel to free it up. Previous owner decided to weld them on. I guess that was easier than getting a new top plate?

I thought mopars had some kind of recall for the coupler and installed this spring. It's how I did mine. It actually works amazing. Hard to get on but worth it

That kit works really well for sure!

I used that spring on my car as well.

I can tell you, if I had a welder near me on a couple of those, they would have been welded on too. I think that's the only part of these cars that has pissed me off more than once!
