No. Its in the design of the escutcheon type stamping. Its a washer like device that goes between the steering wheel and the hub adapter and contains the horn device with a snap ring, (may also act as a ground?.
The stamping's I.D. dimension exceeds that of the I.D. of the NRG part by probably 3mm.
So Vince, which screws did you get from McMaster Carr?

I'm in need of M5., and 15mm? Anodized black, countersunk, allens, prefered. Its too hold the wheel onto the NRG part. Couldn't find them at Orchard, and bought some that were 10mm long, but due to the "not seating", there too short. I used the ones from my Grant (but there's only 5 and there not quite the proper thread pitch).

Siegster, did you get the problem solved? i watched your build thread and you've got it solved? well 95%?

Hmm,

Ran the nut down on the Short Hub and the OD of the hub bottoms out on the OD of my new Ididit column.

Is there something that is supposed to go between the hub and the steering shaft base?

Off to go buy a steering wheel puller to get that hub back off.

I had the same problem True. I put a couple of extra C-clips on the splined shaft and it did the trick. Scratching my head on that one too...

Yeah, it's goofy. I think I'll see if I can find a couple of thin washers with a .750 ID to slip over the shaft.

Went to True Value, Lowes, Fastenal and a local specialty hardware joint with no luck finding a proper shim. Wound up finding it on McMaster-Carr. Mail-order washers...ugh.

Building a car from scratch will be fun they said!

Wait, the hub is bottoming out on the bell of the column?...around the outside?

If you shim that up then you are not engaging the splines all the way, right?

I have spun .030" off of the bottom of the hub in the lathe before to correct that......if that is what is happening.
