There are probably many retired steering columns in garages of forum members, because the tilt column upgrade is so popular. Somebody may have one they can salvage that part off of for you, or send you the whole column. I suggest sign up for the premium membership and then post a want to buy ad in the parts section. I've had good luck getting obscure parts that way. From other threads I see it is called a detent selector. I wonder if JB Weld would fix it if the cure time was sufficient.
