The yellow injected plastic was actually used to hold the shim mounts in place and designed to break loose in case of an accident. When I restored them I heated them up and pushed the plastic out, restored the complete unit and then injected hot melt plastic back into them to hold them. I then had to paint the yellow over the plastic as I could not find yellow hot melt. These were originally injected as a unit before they were installed on the column.
