I figured today that it would be best to make a seal at the firewall so I looked around to see what I could come up with. The steering column is 1 1/2 inch and I needed about 2 1/4 for the shaft/joint clearance. I found a piece of my old lower rad hose and it is 1 1/2 inch inside so I cut a piece off about one inch long then I found a piece from my upper rad hose and it fit over that then I measured a piece of the gas filler 2 1/4 inside and cut a piece about 4 inches long and it fit nicely over the other pieces of short hose it was a tight fit. I fought to get it slid on the column all the way. then I found a aerisol can lid that fit tight over the hose and drilled a 1 1/2 inch hole in it and slid it on.I put a piece of belting behind it and will put a larger piece over the area tomorrow
