Forget the splines (80+ on the 75)

The boss is about 0.25 inches smaller in diameter.

Sorry about that.

There is ample meat on the boss to drill it out, and being aluminium, I suppose you could use a scrap 75 steering column as a broach, and gradually engineer the boss to fit.

You would need (ideally) a hydraulic press.

You also need to reproduce the taper.

Having said this, the legalities surrounding the air bag issue would prevent me from actually doing it.
That's what I am thinking of doing if there isn't an "off the shelf" option. Cheers!
