Doing the resto job on my 69 Mach 1.
After the steering column comes through the firewall ("A" in the photo) it looks like there is supposed to be a boot or something there on the lower part. If not, what color are those collars and the extending steering column supposed to be painted?
Also, item "B": what is that yellow part, a bushing/roller of some kind? and what does it connect to? The original I have has a very slight flattening worn onto about 1/4 of the diameter. Is it still usable, or should I replace it?
Grateful for any help and answers.

Not sure about A, but B is where the Z-bar for the clutch connects to and the other
side of it connects to a ball stud on the engine block. You would only use this if you are using a manuel transmission.

A is a seal/bushing and they are not available in repro so don't F that one up when you remove it, color should be natural plastic and the color of the column should match the interior color of the column which is charcoal metallic
