After cleaning the stuff off my frame to put new panels on, I absolutely hate the stuff. I had to use a very strong degreasent neat to make it easy and boy does that waxoyl stuff stink :

There is normally a modified Escort MK3 (I think) steering bush which goes on the end of the cut-down column & then 2x U-Bolts holding it to the frame. I suspect you'll not need a lowering bracket as it sits quite low as it is & you may not be able to get in if it's any lower.
