    The one on the right look´s like a Volvo 444, But it can also be an English Morris Minor or something other English.
    Isn't it some marks logo number in the center of the steering wheels?

    Could help with the hunt....

    I think the one on the right may be Triumph, TR-3 or TR-4.
    Or could be early MGB
    Pretty sure MGA had four spoke rays

    Anyway, they are rare, and valuable to British car restorers, so you might think twice about cutting it for just a few parts if that was where it was going. Repops are going for over $200....

    Or count splines and angle to see if it will work on an American (GM?) column.
    That one's not metric.

    Hey, do they make Metric screwdrivers? [​IMG]

    I have the one on the left in my coupe.
    I have been told it is a '38 Buick.
    I had to make my own taper and cut a key to get it
    to fit, but if you can find a buick column it might just
    slip on.
    good luck
