Re: Shorten Steering Column?

Maybe a no-brainer for most of you guys, but had I known, it would have saved me at least an hour.

The idea to use the press to collapse the shaft was great. Especially if you don't want to wake up the neighbors. I knew that press would be good for something other than building AK's

Still need to bolt it all together in the AM.. But, it seems to me there is a notch in the top of the steering column, and a widget on the column drop that fits into it.

Do I need to lengthen the notch in the top of the steering column or is it okay to just bolt it all back together real tight?
