Hi Phillip
No better ideas except use Delrin (original material) if you can get it instead of nylon. There are two sheer pins and they aren't very big in diameter so will be interested to hear how you get on with making them.
They will need to be a neat fit and I would leave extra protruding on either side of the shaft so you can heat and mushroom or flatten the ends to prevent any chance of them coming out.

If all else fails don't worry about the sheer pins, the steering column will still perform perfectly without them.

Cheers
Dave.
