Here is a pic of ash's. It is positioned inside the drivers footwell as during iva he got asked to move it. I'm not sure what test you have to go through in SA.

I'm not Too sure if you can get it in SA, it's not from a car it's just an industural bearing. Have a google the codes that are in the eBay description and you may be able to find it.

The link to the bearing is in my 1st reply and the one to the plastic bit is in the one from twin turbo.
More info on the bearing

The two outer plates are vertical, the inner bearing moves to the angle that you need, then the two plates clamp it and stop it moving.

The bearing needs to be fixed about 15mm from the chassis so that the column is as close to the bottom of the top rail as possible.

Totally agree with above modification, most kit cars using the Sierra column now fit this.
The original Ford bush and bearing, only being held inplace by the rubber washer, can move enough to fail IVA.
The metal bearing also allows column figment through a vertical panel.
