The Ford Barn

I just bought a 31 Vicky. On the road the steering column rattles a lot. Previous owner told me that he had the steering column rebuilt, mostly the mechanics at the bottom. He had a lot of trouble getting the timing and throttle rods to go into the support things and was unable to do so.

I don't want to remove the column from the car now because of the complete interior installed. I am thinking of installing a fixture to allow me to partly fill the column with some expanding foam to quiet the rattling.

Does anyone have any thoughts about this project or are there any other thoughts out there?
