    Like so many here I'm using an F1 steering box which has a splined steering shaft. Which means the steering wheel goes on any way you like. The stock '40 Ford steering wheels have a keyway.
    Does anyone make a reproduction 1940 Ford steering wheel with the later splined mount?
    Thanks

    Limeworks make a 16" 1940 Ford steering wheel which suits a GM splined shaft. Don't know if there is any difference between the GM and Ford splines. AFAIK their wheels suit either early Ford keyed shafts or GM splined shafts.

    I bought the Lime-works wheel and a splined adaptor from Grant to fit the F1/F100 splines. The wheel fit the Grant adaptor perfectly--everything mated up. I used a '40-'46 truck steering tube & Bell to finish off the project.

    I took my wheel and shaft to a machine shop. They welded the old keyed hole and matched the splines on the F1 shaft.

    I spoke to Steve at Limeworks today. He's making me one to fit the F1 column.
