steering column bearing

what steering column bearings are people using?

im wanting to replace my sierra setup with a custom column but want to have a proper bearing that goes through the bulk head

i think i may be restricted due to the bulkhead section as there may be enough width on in the bearing area

here are some bad pics of my current setup,

This is what I have used on my Viento. The Sierra bush with the triangular hole through the middle fits into this and is held in place with a grub screw. Sorry, I don't have a photo of it in the car and I cannot get a camera into the space to take a picture now as there are too many other bits in the way!

I got mine from Simply Bearings - If I've done it right you should find the link in my reply above. The do loads of different sorts. They may well have an e-bay shop, but I didn't look, I just went direct to them.
