My car has a LeCarre steering wheel that mounts to a flange on the hub with 9 screws. I made a 4" spacer for my steering wheel out of a piece of 4" PVC pipe. I bought 2 closet flanges that fit inside the pipe - the type for a concrete floor. I glued the closet flanges into the 4" pipe and then cut them off. The bolt circle for my LeCarre steering wheel is about.020" larger than 4" so the drill kept walking off when I tried to drill the mounting holes.
I had to smuggle it into work and have a toolmaker drill the holes with a small endmill. I think I tapped them for 8-32 screws rather than the 4mm - the wheel originally fastened to the flange with screws and nuts.
An added bonus is that I can now see the right side of the tach and the left side of the speedometer.
If I make another one I may make it 3" long instead of 4". This puts a lot of strain on the support bearing under the dash. I have to tighten the screws that hold tht bearing periodicaly
