Actually it looks like it may be an MGB steering tube with an aluminum sleeve to mount the VW turn signal switch. The original AC cars used an MGB column when they switched to rack and pinion, but the turn signal adapter sleeve looked different.

Your column is sticking out pretty far from the dash, so I'm not quite sure if it is an MGB.

Moss Motors has replacement bushings for MGB steering columns. They are in Calif and they are on the web.

Good luck
