Either you're misunderstanding me, or I'm not following what you're talking about :\
This is where I'm referring to, just to make sure we're on the same page. Hole is drilled there, through the clamped area and then through the steering wheel's splinned shaft. Use a small bolt that just keeps it from pulling out.

as it stands now my shaft has 1" of movement back in this area and 1" on the column itself that is almost exactly how much the factory set up gives.

i see where you are coming from Formula however, if you place a bolt in this section your shaft would not have enough "crush section" in case of a collision therefore the inner shaft can push back into the driver. using the small tack-welds the force of a front impact will allow them to break free.

You *NEED* to reclock the end for it to match the LT1, or install the LS1 steering shaft as-is and reclock the steering wheel (it is easy enough to pull the steering wheel and it is on a splined shaft as well, so it can be reclocked).

Exactly. you cannot just 'drill a hole' in a sectionand expect it to have the strength or holding power to do the job.

See Beast, you could've went about it differently, instead of being a total jackass about it

Wrong, I only post on subjects where I think the information being discussed is inaccurate or flat out dangerous, and/or those with which I have personal experience...
Hmm, sounds like it would be almost anything and EVERYTHING in this forum, which would include just about every thread since Formula350 can't help but try to up his post count by posting in EVERY thread... And usually with inaccurate or dangerous information.
So, no stalking... Really, it is hard to say someone is stalking when the depth of knowledge around here is as shallow as it really is, as well as the depth of the forum being as shallow as it really is... Both combined creates a high-hit ratio...
Plus, how does the person with all the experience and knowledge become the troll??? Now THAT is absurd...

God, how ever did we get along with out you 
It's so much better now that you started posting more! "Please stay with me forever, Mr. Beam!"You seemingly have 'personal experience' in everything, so that flys out the window right away. I couldn't care less about my post count, but sadly I'll never be able to convince you of that. The only time the post count matters here, is when you're below 50. Again, we're so grateful you are gracing us with your plethora of knowledge! Finally, experience and knowledge plays NO part in one being a troll, it's all in their attitude. But I shouldn't have to inform someone of your stature who's been a Uber Master Tech on forums and a all-round guru
The majority of your posts have very little to do with the topic at hand and are mainly just to try and berate and demean me. I've dealt with many of your kind, and have become immune to your affects. I think it's time to implement Operation New Sig
