PS -

John, you and Troy might recognize the steering column, that covers the shaft, too..

pre-'68 Type 1....
Hey, it's what I had, I was making a display with the extra EMPI GTV wheel and Polar Silver painted Oval dash I have, was going to make a wall hanging out of everything after I shortened the column and shaft, but the column was straight, round, and I found press-in bearings that supports the shaft top and bottom quite nicely...so it ended up being a hot rod part instead of wall art...I sill may run the GTV wheel sometimes, all it would take is another steering shaft with splines instead of the keyway and threaded top, and the GTV wheel has a lot more dish" to it for my rather long legs to clear..
