there's plastic on both ends but if you stay away & don't heat everything up
to much, all will be fine. I am using a 89 GM minivan column in my truck. I
chose this for the length, column ignition and column shift. I cut off and
reused the floor mount. the column sticks through the floor about 3 inches
on my TF.
