Steering column seal repalcement?

[jsgun]

I'm looking for the seal at the end of the steering column, the one that seals the column from heat coming up the center of it. Search showed mentions, but I can't find one listed. Anyone have a link? Or do you make your own seal? Thought about using a piece of thick rubber floor mat (the interlocking tile type), but i'm not sure if its heat resistant.

Follow the link Jan gave you and it will lead to a tech tip on the ROA website that will tell you how to solve this. I cut my plug from a 2" thick piece of foam rubber following the directions in the tech tip. I put it in several years ago and it is still working fine.

For what it's worth, I got a neoprene doughnut gasket off ebay for it. 2" OD, 3/4" ID. Cut a slit in it, and it slipped right in. Put some silicone on it to keep it from moving. 2 1/8" would be a tighter fit, but was unavailable.
