these are the "groves" that keep the steering wheel from turning around and around on the shaft.

Something I forgot in my first post is that the diameter of the shaft needs to be the same, too, so when you're checking on the spline count of the Ch@vy wheel, ask for the diameter.
You might be able to fabricate or buy a wheel adapter. Anybody have any experience with this? Are there any available for IH or is this a universal kind of thing?
