I'd look for a junkyard part, I've seen them on ebay in the past.
Otherwise epoxy and some paint and a stencil.

 

[Nelson and Hudson]

I set myself up for that, didn’t I?

Well played.

Yes, you did. And please be informed that some of us used an unusual amount of restraint and didn’t post our smart-alec answers.

Junk yard is definitely your best bet and that’s going to be like searching for blinker fluid in the Sahara.

I looked on ebay and didn't see any this time but... There are few places selling steering columns for BII's with floor shift. You might contact them about the floor shift bezel.

 

[Nelson and Hudson]

Thank you!

So we are a little deeper into this now and Haynes doesn’t have a good blowup of the shift lever assembly that I can find. This looks like I am missing something.

...and heres another one... does anybody have insight as to why someone would bend up that particular tab? It seems that this is the seatbelt buzzer or warning of some sort...

Could have just been a mistake. If they removed the glovebox and tried to connect it from underneath I could see the pin getting bent and "push harder" did the rest.

What do you guys do for steering wheels? This one is pretty tattered and Hudson wants to replace it. He is not concerned with keeping it stock.

I've seen them plenty of times on ebay. I actually bought the center part to replace mine off of ebay.

Does your wheel have controls for cruise control ?

Does your wheel have controls for cruise control ?

Negative. Plain wheel.

 

[JerryC]

I'd guess that any number of wheels are available with the proper adapter kit.
