Best thing I ever did in a long time. When I was done with my install,
I watched as I pulled on the wheel to see if the new bracket totally
kept the steering column from touching the old half of the riveted bracket.

Nope, no touch. Like some already said, remove the lower half & rubber from
that and the upper, and it should be good. You will reuse the lower piece on the new bracket of course. Now when you climb in there, your not worried about those 80 year old rivets causing a leak down the road. The bracket comes a little rough, so I polished it smooth. Painted it the color of the dash so it blends right in.
