The master cylinder will scare you too, when I install it.

You probably know this but you can make a slider out of mid 70's GM columns.. Just need to heat and remove the plastic stuck in them.. You might not like the slop then.. Just pull one apart and it is a flattened pipeish shaft.. Our main steering shaft is a Freightliner shaft.. Way too big for your use.. But seeing where/how you have your's mounted.. You should be fine..

I'm not worried about it. The steering shaft is short, it's not like later GM cars where it runs from just behind the front bumper.

I used to use the shaft out of an old Datsun pickup with a PTO joint on the box.. Generally when the car folds, the steering wheel starts to go closer to my body and up... One car was eye level.. Lol.. I would think the frame will not collapse..as you have no crushbox...

When we went on power tour in 2011 at Cocoa Beach Florida, a local had a sweet little ride crash at the pre-registration and we were one of the first on the scene,, http://www.midfloridacruisers.com/pr...ower-tour-2011 please reconsider a collapsible column as I would hate to loose another over such a small detail...
at least they were able to revive the driver long enough to say goodbye to his family... he was a local club member who had volunteered to help...he had the throttle stick
and only went 60 feet into a light pole station collapsing the steering wheel into his chest cavity... such a waste, but it must have been his time to go,
