Why not use the Sierra column surround? You could make an ally one but it is a lot of work - why re-invent the wheel (surround)

We made a cardboard template to cover the area between the original column shroud and the dash. We then cut and shaped a piece of aluminium, covered it in vinyl and held in place with a couple of self-tappers.

Like this

Hellfire - that's uncannily like what I have done I used the side of a cornflake box to make my template With a small pilot hole in the plastic surround, the self tappers work really well.
