[oletrucks] Column Vs Floor shift

[Williams Grant Civ 412 AMXS Det 2/MXA2A]

I converted my stock column 3 speed to a floor 4 speed.  After doing all the
body work and re-installing the cab I discover I've overlooked the
difference in the opening in the firewall for the 3 speed column Vs no
column shift mechanism.  The question is, how have you seen the additional
hole space from the column shift filled after the fact?  I'm thinking maybe
some sort of aluminum cover on the engine side of the firewall?
