Not sure what column you are using but in regards the boss if you use a saas boss these are solid aluminium and ripe for shortening.

I've managed to pick up a s/h boss from a pick a part wrecker for $10 - new approx $70 and took 35mm off the end. I'm running a mitsubishi colt column and found a colt with the saas boss and a saas wheel attached, but with the mitsubishi's I believe the column spline/taper is the same across all the models anyway.

Of some surprise was the good match this boss has with the hyundai combi
switch system I am using, the horn contact fits perfectly and some very minor filing enabled the indicator cancelling system to work easily as well.

Obviously when you cut the end off the boss you will need to redrill and tap the wheel attachment holes but the solid body of the saas boss allows this to happen. Don't know of any other boss constructed in the same sort of way to allow this to happen.

Will get around to posting some pics showing this mod. to my gallery in the near future.

Cheers
