From memory -The inside of the collapsible steering column consists of a square bar fitted internally to a square tube retained by two plastic pins. In an impact the plastic pins shear allowing the column to collapse. If you can not source new shear pins there are various alternative solutions such as garden strimmer filament or heavy gauge soft copper wire. The original plastic pins are pretty fragile.
