mk2 parts left over

[Sopwith_Camel]

ok I had to replace the U joint on the mk2 steering column well most likly the two polyurathaine bushes were the culprit.
ok got that fixed so i go to tighten the steering column in the car, I had just loosened two nuts, well A Im having a devil of a time lining up the auto gear and the letter so N is D and so forth, but while shifting around this dropped out a brass bush that is 230degees of a circle I cant find where to put it back !!

If you had the wheel off and had the part after ou put it back on, Yes! OR look on a parts site like SNG or XKSUnlimited and look at the schematic of parts on steering column XKs is #10.

it looks like it was used as a shim for the steering column, the Automatic letters lined up, when i used it for that pourpous.
