I have a steering wheel spider that has a riveted hub and certainly look like a Model T spider. I would be for a pretty small steering wheel.
Different than other spiders I have this one doesn't seem to have a tapered shaft. The shaft hole is same size on either side. Did some model Ts have strait shafts for the steering wheels?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Model T's all have the non tapered shafts. You have the common T spider.

Thanks for your response. It inspired me to get up and go to the shop and see what was going on. And you are correct They are straight and the reason this one didn't fit was it just needed a serious cleaning to get it on. And I learned my assumption Model T steering wheels would only do on in one direction was incorrect. Love it when I learn something Thanks.

I was in Reno one year and went to the museum where they had the Model T prop from Flubber and I noticed they had the steering wheel on upside down I mentioned it to the curator and he was adamant it was on correctly and I equally assured him it was not, he responded that it can't go on upside down, I said the proof is right there that it can. He dug out the advertising poster in total frustration only to find it was on upside down. He changed it right there in front of me.
