You did it the right way. I think I've seen people cutting a corner and welding the top tube open, but the book design is intended to be closed.

Also should I just leave fitting the cp15 plates until later when I can trial fit the steering column or does anyone have some measurements they can give me for where to position them?
Ash has posted a photo of a ruler against the CP15 plates on his car somewhere on the forum.
