    I think I understand the process of doing the mount with tubing now and that would work out geat because I cut the locking lever thing off and the tubing would cover that nicely. The only problem is that the hole I drilled in the floor ended up being about 2 5/8" (I used a drill bit that different size hole saws fit into...it was supposed to be 2.5, but ended up as more like 2 5/8. I'm not sure that idea works when going from 2 5/8 to the 2 1/4 column . So i'm not sure that will work for me. Just so I have this right...a simple hose clamp or set screw with be fine to hold the column in place? Seems like you would want it more permanently secure than that?? edit: I guess Shine answered that...it just steadies it, but in my case I do have a huge hole

    Bob Parmenter- do you have a picture of your exhaust flange from the engine side??
