Default Grant steering wheel hub(s)

I too have been searching for a Grant hub and a 15" steering wheel for my '65 Jag, no such luck. But while searching, I have read some pretty disgusting opinions about their steering wheels and hubs, which in essence say they are unsafe products. I do not know if that is true, so I will not make any accusations against Grant Corp., but I do know that every Grant steering wheel that I tried to order has been discontinued, even though it still shows in different websites as "available". Worse, when I called Grant through their toll-free number, the person answering
the phone doesn't know what, who, or when and her attitude is questionable, kind of unhelpful.

I don't know how Hub Adapters are made, especially the "spline" or "threaded" hole that mates with the shaft. I've been checking locally and I found a machine shop willing to "try", also found a Steering Wheels company willing to make a hub adapter as long as I provide them with the original steering wheel and shaft from my car so they can make molds. Removing the Steering wheel is no problem, but removing the inner column shaft?

I've also been advised to just cut the hub fom the original steering wheel and adapt a wheel to it, but destroying a 1965 Jaguar wheel is not my way to do things. I still have every steering wheel from every car I have ever owned since 1967 hanging on my wall like trophies. I'm just not going to destroy that "school bus" steering wheel.

Certainly, I'm puzzled at the state of confusion in the steering wheel industry.
