Steering wheel spline adaptor

[hudson1948]

Trying to install a bigger id steering wheel on to a smaller shaft. Does anyone know who can make an apaptor that will accept the steering wheel with the bigger id. Ask for charlie, 631-738-7712 or e mail [email protected]

What type/brand of car are you working on? If we go by your e-mail it appears you are working on a '48 Hudson.

I've never heard of an adapter, I cant see how it could possibly work without changing the length of the shaft. Most folks cut off the spline you want, and weld it to the shaft you want. A good weld is a must, and if its hollow I put a piece of tube inside. Thats for splines, on our early fords with a taper and a key I make a shim that fits nicely from key side around to key side. Make a paper pattern as they curve, then I have found that a tin can like a lacquer thinner can is about rite for thickness. I have a 30-31 model A wheel in my 34 jalopy because I like the 4 spoke wheel, and good ones are available. They are a larger diameter than the v8 shaft

Working on a 1936 DeSoto. The wheel im trying to install is from an 8 cylinder Chrysler. Apparently you got a thicker steering shaft on the 8 cylinder cars.

I'm curious why you haven't asked this question on a Chrysler product forum? Seems you would get better answers from a forum specific to your car than from a Ford forum.
