FOUND 65 steering column base shield

[dan juhasz]

I’m working on a customer’s 65 Satellite. Lots of mismatched butchery over the years. I believe it has a different year column installed because the plate that is at the base of the column does not match the firewall fixed nuts. So I’m looking for a plate that aligns with the firewall. Here are pictures of what is going on.

Man that is a mess. That conduit thru the firewall is wrong and the plate looks wrong too. Hard to tell. Is the main hole in the firewall butchered up also? If no one else seds you any pics, I will. I have 2 65 Bs.

You couldn’t conceive of all the butchered stuff on the car. If you can send a few pics maybe that could get the ball rolling.

The firewall hole does not appear abused.

Is that middle plate that bolts to firewall even supposed to be there?

I'll have to find the pics of the one on my 65 Belvedere. Mine has a two-piece plate that covers the hole. Mine is a column shift automatic with the cable shift trans. It's two pieces because the end of the column is pretty big with the cable mechanism there.
I think what you have might be correct, but both pieces should be inside the car.
