Steering Wheel Spline Adapter - 18mm to 21mm

[g4designs]

Hi all! I'm looking for a spline adapter to put an older style 21mm (fine spline) wheel on a newer 18mm (fine spline) steering column. It looks like there are adapters for small to large, but not small to medium.

Searching the forum, I found #191419514A, but it looks like it is to use a 74+ wheel on a pre-59 column, going from 18mm to the larger 25mm size.

Does anything exist for 18mm steering column to a 21mm wheel? Am I missing something?

18mm to 21mm is just 3mm. It will be very thin and possible not hold up very long.
Perhaps if it's done in some very strong materials.
I wouldn't like to drive around in something where the steering may stop working at the next sharp turn.

Perhaps if it's made like two parts where the sleeve on the column and the new splined part sticks out and are sufficiently reinforced. But it will make the steering wheel stick out further towards the driver.

The directional and wiper arms might hit the wheel.

The 18 shaft ends in a taper while the 21 ends with a shoulder.
