Mr.T, if you snap the pin and move it down, do you then need to put another pin in place to lock it in?

I'll measure my power column on the exposed inner shaft to the top of the coupling and report back. ** It appears to be about 9 1/4" from where it goes into the outer shaft to the top of the coupling.***

I would like a second column either way, I would like to keep my original column as is and have a second one to eventually do an electric steering conversion on.
