Quote: I plan on drilling a hole into (but not through) the splined end of the factory steering column. I will then install the Borgeson shaft, thread a tap into the setscrew hole, and then tap the newly drilled hole so a longer setscrew can engage both the Borgeson and Dodge parts. I'll buy a longer setscrew if I need to. See the pic below if you're confused. This will keep the u-joint from ever sliding off. The setscrew will experience minimal torsional loads, mostly single-shear stress. Here's my blueprint: 8452151-borgesonfix.jpg (135 downloads)

If you're interested, they'll eventually be available, but I have no idea when. At least they won't be too far away, only about 360 miles. I'll make a note that you want them and drop you a line when they come off.
