    Larry,

    I'm using a alum. rod from 4 cylinder ford racing eng. from the 60's and it looks nice. Do a google for "rod big end bore sizes" and see what comes up. My rod was a little over sized for the steering column but that was good . Placed a thin strip of inner tube rubber in the cap and rod and it fits perfect without marring the column. The rubber also gives you some wiggle room on the angle of the column. I needed that as I was a little off on the angle when cutting the small end off the rod. Good luck.

    Jack.
