Mine grenaded when I took the column apart. Anybody know?

I don't know the correct name of it but that is NOT the turn signal cancel "thingy".
I just put the TCP rack on my 69, and it said to remove and throw away that piece.
As what Tim65GT said, it just serves as a bushing to center the inner and outer tubes of the column.
I'm putting an ABS power box in my car. I bought the TCP piece for the shaft thinking I needed a second bearing for the bottom of the column. It would work but it makes the bottom of the column about 1" too long and won't clear the universal joint. In the process of finding out it wouldn't work I destroyed the plastic spacer clip.
In short, been there, done that, won't work, and I need to go back.

have you thought about shortening the column like you would do if you were installing the TCP rack?
maybe one of these would work for you?

i think this is what you need here, but i'd put the bearing above in it too though
