I'm going to have to yank it apart again, I think it had 2 distinct sections
of splines, stepped if you will. The Grant Adapter and the Motolita adapter
only slide on the first (top) spline set. It may be tapered but seemed more
like a step to the second sized spline.
18mm = .709in which seems right for
the hub which measures .711in inside diameter but I'm pretty sure the OD of
the splines on the larger (lower) is looking like .75"
Are alpine steering
shafts the same?
The car was in a fron ender at some point and that shaft
could have been swapped out or something, but something doesn't seem right.
Thanks for the info, going to have to open it up and look at it, will get a
picture this time!

Tiger Steering Wheel Spline(s)
OK. I think I understand your question. In
fact the hub's bore, where it
slides onto the splines of the steering column,
is slightly conical. The
diameter of the hub's bore is 18 mm at the entrance
and 15 mm at exit. It
has 36 splines.
I hope this helps you.
