steering column

Got loads done today and have finally finished all my drilling and riveting.... hands hurt now.. :biggrin:
Been looking at the steering column what have you guys done at the lower end with regard to shortening it. Have you welded it or just shear pinned it. I don't have a welder but would rather go and get it done if this is the safest route to go down.

I got a new rover 25 steering Column and the spline U/J from a 1994 Rover 214 it fitted with out any mods :eusa_eh: allthough found that the little bit of box section that marlin supply had to be a certain way round to stop the column from wobbling

I did not have to do anything with mine. :confused:

I just fitted it with the donor column.
