Series 2 steering column at and angle

[massmike]

Hello All,

I have a quick question. I am piecing my 59 series 2 back together and I notice the steering box and column are sitting at an angle. Is this normal? The column passes directly through the center of the bulkhead cut out and fits into the column bracket that is mounted to the dash. I also noticed under one side of the column bracket there is what looks to be a factory shim, but only on one side. I am assuming this shim slightly angles the bracket to match the column angle.

It just looks slightly strange to me.
