Hot Rods quick release steering wheel

i have a reproduction 40 ford wheel on a tapered, keyed shaft but i need to probably go to a 17" bell 4 spoke wheel on a quick release hub.
does anyone make a splined piece for a quick release hub that will mate to what is it, a 3/4 tapered and keyed shaft or will i need to cut off the taper and weld on a universal spline piece for the hub? the shaft is an early ford tapered shaft. is that 3/4 inch, i'm at work right now.

 

Early Ford shafts are 3/4”. I went looking recently for a quick release that would adapt to the stock Ford shaft and didn’t find any. I did see a quick release that was made for a 5/8” shaft that could probably be machined to fit the tapered 3/4”. Sorry I don’t remember what brand. I was just clicking around on Jegs and Summit. I’m a few months (years) away from needing the part.

 

ididit has a 5/8 adapter with key and nut for a schroeder shaft, not sure if it was tapered.

 

If you buy one let us know what the dimensions are.

 

Ididit bought Schroeder and back many years ago when I built a 32 roadster with Schroeder steering they (Schroeder) sold me a quick release hub that fit their tapered and keyed steering shaft for my Bell wheel. Ididit may have ended up with these parts? Also check Speedway at one time they had the same part.

 

Just for fun I googled Schroeder Steering.com and believe it on not I found their old website. Down a ways on their site they show steering wheels and hubs. There is a picture of their Quick Release steering hub that is held on by a pin Part number 2000 Pin Lock. That's what I had on my roadster and it worked great. It's mostly about torsion bars. I don't think they are doing business of any kind any more. Fun site to look at.

 

I liked the pin lock hub because it was a little more old timey looking.

 

Try this one. Made for Schroeder steering boxes, but isn't that the same taper as Ford?

I saw that one but I believed it was for a 5/8" shaft. I see that one says .750" at bottom of taper. It does say it's for the squeeze type connector, rather have pin style like Gary says.. Thanks

 

My stock car racing buddy likes the pull lip kind of releases better than the pin kind because they aren't as loose. Not sure if a certain brand might make a difference if you really want the pin kind, and he doesn't have any loose brands to name.
