[DeTomaso] slop in steering slip shaft?

[B Hower]

I have a single feeler gauge blade drove into the gap. It fits tight enough to stay in place. Yet it should be able to slide in case of an accident, if needed to do so ..

Bud #3400 ( Drive it like there is no tomorrow -- for there may not be ! )

   What has people done to take out the slop in the steering shaft slip
  joint?

  I have a 72 that the owner does not like to slop, the steering wheel
  moves back and forth in the middle, straight ahead position. The slip
  shaft has a lot of play, looks like thru the years the shaft has opened
  up the larger shaft.

  I am wondering if you can drill a thru hole (like a 1/4") and put a
  bolt thru it. Or is there anything else that you have done?
