Not Ranked
I'm going through the steering wheel boss adventure at the moment. I bought a Moto Lita wood rim wheel from Finish Line and it has a large 9 bolt center. No one makes a boss to suit this wheel on a Suzuki steering column. This is no big deal and I planed to make the boss all along. What I'm saying is where there is a will there is a way.
The main thing you need to determine is what spline you have on the end of your column. Ford aren't going to reinvent the wheel for every new Falcon they produce so you will probably find the spline is the same as the EA, EB... etc previous models without airbags fitted. The other difference might be the indicator cancel cam and horn contact may be different but this stuff is pretty easy to adapt. If you can remove your existing wheel I would go down to an auto accessory store and compare it with some of the older Falcon boss kits.
I'm using a SAAS boss as a basis for my application. They are cast aluminium so are easy to machine and modify. Some brands are aluminium with steel inserts cast in and they can be more difficult to work with. I'll machine the nose of it to press into a larger 9 bolt ring I'll turn up. I'll then weld the ring onto the boss to make one solid piece.
Good luck
