Default Steering wheel

I fancy the idea of fitting an earlier two spoked steering wheel to a 411 but have noticed the spline is different. Has anyone ever made an adaptor to make it possible ?

Thanks

Greg

My 408 has an aluminium boss. I would think a local engineering company
could machine a sleeve to fit the column splines.
The boss would then be machined out to fit the outside of the sleeve and
pinned and glued in place

For what it is worth, the 411 splines are the same as Rolls Royce.
