Here was my solution since I liked the Yenko placement but did not want to drill or mount it to the dash:

But, that is if you changed your mind about it being on the column.

On a separate note, for getting deeper scratches out of glass, have you ever wet sanded them with a really fine grit of sand paper? I was going to try this, but I was curious if anyone had success doing so.

Previously removed the steering column for clean up and turns out the lower bearing was trash so it'll get a disassembly, clean and new lower and since they do not sell the bearing for the upper and since it is staked into the aluminum housing it would be a possible issue but thankfully the upper bearing on mine was good just needed repacking with grease.  Lower bearing was ordered from Ground Up (ss396.com).
