The plans of the techs at work was for me to source three doughnuts, at which point long secure bolts would go through all 3 thus no bending of bolts ect.
Saying that though this steering had stood up to all the abuse I've thrown at it, nothing looks out of place.
The techs told me back when this thread was made it was a "temp fix"
In reality it's highly unlikely to give issues.
But yes 3 donuts will do the job nicely
