The rubber coupler in the steering column is there to keep you from getting speared by the steering column in a front end collision. A u-joint could work but you would have to re-engineer the angle between the upper and lower columns.
It was in a collection but used weekly (or so) by my uncle. I'll give everything a check if/when the sun ever comes out.

I've ordered a rubber doughnut and a couple of other bits and bobs to start with and will check which joints/arms before doing anything else. Thanks!
