Power to manual steering shaft coupler

Did you know that the Double D steering shaft is made in two pieces, that slide together and, are riveted together with nylon rivets, to keep the bottom part from falling out when the column is not installed?
I bopped mine on a cement floor, sheared the pins, then stuck the thing back in the hole it came out of.
That was 1998.
But yes, there is an ugly adapter available.
