Default Spline adaptor

Thank you, Autodoctor11! I just bought an '82 928 with a thoroughly inappropriate steering wheel. I've been looking at more modern Porsche steering wheels, but I had yet to figure out if I could actually mount one. Thanks to you, I believe that I can...

Do you happen to recall the part number for such an adapter?

I would have pulled the explosive charge from the back of that air bag.
