68-69 Steering Column Lower Collar Question

[Toxic Orange 493]

I am in the middle of rebuilding my steering column along with converting it from column shift to floor shift. My question is on the new lower collar for the floor shift. The old on that I removed for the column shift had a small Allen set screw that secured it to the inner tube. The new collar does not have anything to secure it.

Column shift collar with set screw.

New collar without set screw.

Should there be something to secure the floor shift colllar? I am worried it will just rattle around and be annoying without something.

That set screw locked the collar to the automatic shift tube not the actual column.

I agree.

I am just trying to figure out how this one gets held in place. Does it really just get sandwiched between the ring inside the steering column and the upper collar? Before I paint everything, I want to make sure I have all the necessary parts and don't have to add parts, holes, etc later.
Thanks!

It does not get physically connected there should be a wavy spring washer between it and the upper collar to hold it in position.
