Lower Steering Column U Joint replacement

Hi all.

I am really hoping someone here has had this.

I own a '94 PreFL K11 1.0 CG10DE L Spec - with no airbags and no tilt on the steering column, the true base model :D anyways the lower U-joint on the column has about 2mm play (pos 1mm) which results in a knock on rough terrain when turning, and a rattle going onwards, this does NOT affect the steering in any way, it is just annoying AF!.

Has anyone had this or could help me source a replacement U-joint I could get a tame mechanic to install? I sourced another column like mine ( which was lucky ) but that has the same issue.

It's part 11 on this diagram :

Apart from foreign and part websites wanting into the 100's of pounds, I am wondering if anyone has come across another option given the collection of K11's here?
