Coarse Spline on a late model?
Hey everyone, I know this task is probably impossible or it takes a lot of work. However, has anyone retrofitted an early model coarse-spline steering wheel on a late model? I have this old i guess "rare" three spoke that I want to put on my late model e28. Has anyone done this conversion?

Re: Coarse Spline on a late model?
which Rare wheel are you talking about??
I converted an e23. You will probably just need the Coarse spline shaft.

The other difference in a early and late e24 is the depth of the steering assembly. The fine spline wheel is inset and the coarse spline wheel is nearly flush. My guess would be that you would have to swap the whole column assembly not just the splined shaft
Like this? These are not rare.
$99 a little pricey if you ask me

NOOOO not that wheel haha. I just got that one on my e24 I got a new wheel so I tossed that one out the window into the trash. I have the same one as this guy. I just know these go for a good amount of money.

Ah, the M1 / M535 wheel. I sold one of those that came in a lot of parts I had. The Hub cover is kinda of strange not sure how you would fit it to a late e24/e28. But I'm sure if could be done.
