Yes I thought that, but as I understand it if your using a modern column and it has safety features like being collapsable then that's fine. Quite clearly you don't want a solid rod of steel pointing at your bollocks so I've used 1mm walled steel tube and left a gap inside the tube between the upper mx5 shaft and lower escort shaft so it will hopefully buckle under impact.

I hope the above sounds sensible unless someone know otherwise, please let me know.

If you don't have a saftey column then the SVA want to see an indirect linkage of 3 or more UJs I think.
