Hi Ben,
That would be me.  here is a link to the original article.

The only thing I could find that was strong enough to clamp the neck of 
the steering box was the large end of a connecting rod.  It clamps 
tight and the pressure is distributed evenly, unlike a  hose clamp for 
a radiator.  The only piece you have to make is the spacer which was a 
short length of brass pipe split in half to go around the box.  You 
need to hog out a couple of dimples to clear the rivets. but it's 
pretty basic and so far, works fine
