This my be a stupid question: Where can I pick up an adapter for the steering column of an early F1 box so that I can use a newer 3 hole steering wheel? What part might I need Thanks!
Something like this…? http://www.speedwaymotors.com/1928-1948-Ford-Steering-Wheel-Adapter-Hub,3307.html Or is your column splined instead?
This is the page you probably need: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Shop/Steering-Wheel-Steering-Wheel-Adapter-Plates/12.html If you go into the listings, they give spline counts and some dimensions so you can at least make a reasonable guess.
I used this kit; but found that the fit was not very good on an F-1 shaft. Had to turn down the slightly tapered area on the shaft just past the splines and pressed the adapter on several times to "broach" the internal splines until it fit on far enough. Not real impressed with the adapter; but it appears to be the only game in town. I cut the hub out of junk F-1 wheel and saved it for a starting point the next time I need an adapter.
