A problem that needs correcting

There has been something in the Jeepster that has bothered me for a while and I really didn't notice it until I really sat in the driver's seat and started fitting things within the reach of the driver. Now I can only assume that this problem existed before I changed the steering column but I didn't notice it because I just didn't spend very much time in the jeep. When sitting in the drivers seat the steering wheel is facing slightly right towards the passenger. After measuring the base location and measuring the under dash mount, the problem was clear. The top mount is 1 3/8" towards the right from where the base mount is thus pushing the steering wheel to the right.

I called another Jeepster owner and his top and bottom mounts measured the same dimension. The only difference I could figure out is that mine is a 1972 and his is a 1967.
