That is the picture I was looking for!
Yes, that's what I'm talking about,
seems that I do have the wrong adapter, as the one I got just slides right
over the top as the splines on the correct place to attache the wheel looks
like about .625" from measuring on the inside of the GRANT adapter which fit
the spline perfect just like the Motolita wheel adapter. The measure on
the hub I got was around .690" which now really looks wrong. Already had a
call from Crowders so at least they are following up.
And huge thanks Theo
for the picture link!
Back on the phone and to see what they can do,
hopefully they have a way to measure the next one they shop out. And they have
no part number or stampings on the part they sent which is also a mystery...

[Tigers] Tiger Steering Wheel Spline(s)
Are you guys talking about the
splined section that allows the steering wheel to be telescoped about 2
inches? The steering wheel hub does not engage that part...

Check the picture.
