Default Steering column Jim Shea

Please forgive me if I have posted this twice. I havent posted for some time.
A question for Jim pleae. Jim Thank you very much for your steering column expertise. I want to build a street rod steering column with a GM Saginaw signal switch mounted inside a 4 inch diameter bowl/cup mounted to the top of the column. ( will look like a 60s Corvette). I see that the switch needs to be screwed to a mating base. My collection of coulmns all have this base cast into the signal light/ignition switch housing. Is there a removable simpler switch base perhaps from an older style Saginaw column? (Something I can easily bolt to my 4 inch bowl). Thanks again

Jim doesn't check this forum on a regular basis. I'll send him an e-mail and let him know you're trying to get in touch with him.
