Several months ago I purchased a Lecarra adapter kit. Advertised as NOS but clearly used it even included the original box. The part number on the box is B-35J-. Upon installation I found that it is too large for the splines on my '73 (#12827). Do I have the wrong adapter, am I missing a part to convert the larger splines to my column, or were there more than one column size used at the factory? Thanks in advance, Mitch

I've been researching new steering wheels for my car. B35-J is the boss for a J_H (B35 is a Vauxhall Viva, the J is for a Jensen badge I think). If you look at the boss you should see "B35" moulded into it. If it isn't there it could be that someone has put an incorrect boss in a J-H box. If that's the case, you have a good case to return it to the seller. Mike

Thanks for the excellent information Mike. The only thing on the hub/boss is "Made In France". In your research have you identified any alternative or other source for the boss? Thanks in advance, Mitch

There's a B35-J boss for sale on eBay UK: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTO-LITA-B35J-Boss-Kit-hub-JENSEN-HEALEY-models-/120780007707?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D2917514323890896521 Does yours look anything like it? I'll look for the other suppliers that I found and post what I find. Mike

Just cut the hub out of the stock steering wheel and bolt on the new rim. Sheesh, OK I'll go and measure. :-) Kurt

I measured the internal diameter of my old steering wheel and it is indeed .625", = 5/8". I had the tangs of the caliper seated in the grooves. There are 36 splines.
