Re: Steering Column (58-59) Question of the day
I'd think that what you plan with grinding the ends of the shaft and using a double D connector would be the safe way to go and keep it appearing stock.
Just make sure that the shaft and the inside of the DD piece are the same diameter (round part of DD) before grinding the flats. I'd drill and pin it after I had it together. That would be a whole lot safer than cutting it off and welding it back together which isn't legal in some areas of the world.
