So, without he removable part you could have just used the Grant adapter designed to work with the obviously not original donor column?

My advice tot eh OP would be to consider swapping in a newer column to get things like integrated turn signals that self return. tilt/tele and the ability to use later steering wheels.

They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
