You can use a L bracket, clamp and a couple of bolts to secure it to the floorboard. Some aftermarket suppliers sell a kit but you can make it up as well.

That way the steering column remains closer to the center of the hole in the floor. You cut the stock column to fit using their kit and fab up a support at the floor for the column. | | |
