1951 88 Steering Column Shifter ANCHOR RING

Hello,
My 1951 Super 88 has had a floppy shifter/indicator housing as long as I have had it. I finally discovered that the ANCHOR RING (see pic) is missing! Does anyone have a spare for me?
Thank You!
Andrew

I don't have a hollander but if someone had one for that range of years, maybe just maybe it would be the same for other GM cars . I would think 49- 52 may be the same but that is just a guess...... Tedd

Hello Tedd and and future searcher who needs help. I am glad to report that this particular problem is solved! The diagram is misleading as (if I do have all the parts) there is no Anchor Ring as described in it. My problem was that the little rectangular nut that fits in the keyway in the attached picture has come loose. Fortunately it had caught in the conical housing below and was waiting there for us! It did not hold the structures above it in place until we added a washer above it. Problem solved! I am posting a new thread about the next problem! Andrew
