I cut mine off the same way. (bracket that is Very Happy )
I also cut the top bracket off, then made a new mount off the ignition barrel bracket.

I got it off , once the wheel is off the outer assembly all slides over followed by the bracket, it was good to see inside to see how it collapses

I also rebuilt the ignition today, being a locksmith i wanted to check it for some of the common problems they have, surprisingly it was in very good condition for its age.

thanks for all the help guys

cheers Paul

When you make your top bracket, make sure the steering lock is lined up with hole in the column.
