Default Compare '36 to '38 BANJO STEERING WHEEL

What's the difference between the 36 and 38 banjo steering wheel.
I have a 36 banjo steering wheel for sale.

36 has straight wires on the Banjo and the 38 wires curve out.
Here is a 40 Banjo I made for my 1940 sedan delivery. I only had
a 36 oriiginal wheel to work with so it has straight spokes. I also
made the outer diameter smaller. G.M.

G.M. The separators on your steering wheel appear to be from a 1937 wheel to me. I thought the 1936 banjo wheel used a cylindrical shaped separators.

Here's a 36 thru 38 comparison of the banjo wheel done by a Barner a while back. I wish that I could remember his name and give him credit for his hard work.
