According to Clausager there were four different sets of columns and =
wheels over the years and they are not interchangeable.  But that isn't =
necessarily borne out by the Parts Catalogue, and North America may have =
changed from the first to the second type with the Mk2, whereas the rest =
of the world didn't change until the 1970 model year, and only had three =
types.  The last change for the 1977 model year on only has an impact on =
indicator cancelling and horn push, the splines don't seem to have =
changed after 1970.  Incidentally the horn push moved to a column stalk =
for just one year before moving back to the wheel, what impact that had =
on the wheel centre I don't know.

For North America the splines for the Mk1 were 3/4" x 48, then 5/8" x =
36, then 11/16" x 36.  If that wasn't complicated enough there were =
three different thread and TPI combinations - Mk1 11/16" x 27TPI, up to =
1970 9/16" x 27TPI, then 9/16" x 18TPI.=20

No, the 69 North American steering wheel spline is different from the earlie=
r cars. I have been through this before on another project. In fact, I belie=
ve it is a one-or-two-year-only deal.

According to the Moss catalog, 68-69 steering wheels are different from the
earlier and later wheels, so I assume the splines are different.
