anyone have a clue what the steering column source was for the Rotus?
I need a new steering wheel boss, and can not figure out the proper spline size to purchase a new boss.

Or.... does anyone know the proper method for finding the size? (so I can figure out what car to adapt from)

I want to say it's from a 1980's Toyota but may be wrong. The right way is to count the splines and measure the diameter. As for where to get an adapter from, check out offroad outlets near you (taking the part with you). They specialize in all sorts of odd offroad machines and can very likely set you up.
