Drill out the rivets, throw away the rubber hockey puck/stops/horn ribbon, make a steel replacement, install it with 4 nuts/bolts, remove the lower column bearing (or let it disintegrate; you don't need one), and bolt in your new solid coupler. You can paint the steel disk semigloss black and have an artist paint some "nice" cotton threads on it for that "oreegional" look.
The car will handle like it has rack-and-pinion steering if you put the tie rod ends into the power steering position and refresh any worn tie rod ends, rebuild the link to the Pitman arm and adjust the lash in the steering box.
