shear bolts or not?

1
Hello again, I feel like I am hogging this space sorry!

The dash is almost reinstalled and I am wondering if I should fit shear bolts in the steering column instead of the ordinary bolts I took out of it.

I cant see how they could be a safety thing and thought they were more about vehicle theft.

Can anyone shed some light on the purpose of these shear bolts in the original design. Regards Greg

That's correct and I think that it is only on US models.
