The hole closest to the firewall i was able to bolt directly to the metal frame(i used a couple of square metal washers to get the required clearance), the middle holes i used 120mm long bolts with 3 nuts(1nut to hold bolt to column and the other 2 on ether side of the frame) and the holes closest to the steering wheel i made up a metal bracket for. Once installed you also need to buy a seperate device that that gives the column a speed signal. If you just connect power to the unit it will not work. I found the device on ebay. It has a dial on it and you can adjust how easy the steering is with it. Normally its connected to the speed sensor so the steering gets stiffer as the car goes faster. I have mine set on the stiffest all the time as its pletty enough.
