I have a 77 Midget. I was removing the rack and pinion to do some rust removal and after the rack and pinion was removed, I noticed the steering column had slid forward. I moved it to see what was up and was able to pull the shaft out of the column. I could put it back in aligning the flat area with the corresponding area inside the column, but it does not go fully inside now, it sticks out 5 to 6 inches now (1st pic below). Also, when I had the shaft out, I noticed two nylon looking remnants on the shaft (2nd pic). Did something break, also, how does one get the shaft all the way back in the column?

Are parts 11 and 12 missing?
