Thanks for all the info guys.
The green part is what I made (and what you would need to make) out of steel.

I do think most people just bolt to/through the dash lip. I didn't like seeing that much of the column mount, and it didn't feel strong enough. This fabbed bracket is probably a 2.5" drop. I made it a little shy of that, which puts the cylinder part of my column within a 1/16th" of the bottom of the dash. Nice and tight and clean.
