Re: i dropped a steering wheel bolt down the steering column. I used a bamboo cane with wrong way round insulation tape wrapped around it.

Re: i dropped a steering wheel bolt down the steering column. It won't do any harm, but you should be able to undo the clamp bolt at the bottom and move the column up enough to allow the bolt to drop out.

Re: i dropped a steering wheel bolt down the steering column. Did you open the roof or have a 'oops that was close' moment when you poked it with the cane?
