Default Trying to fit a new steering wheel on my jeep xj

So I have a 92' XJ and I'm trying to fit my momo steering wheel on. It's my stepdads old one he got off of his prelude. Anyways, the hole for the shaft wont fit the shaft. It's too small. If anyone has a recommendation for this, like a adapter or somethin, all help is appreciated!

Use a metal holesaw and cut the center of the old steering wheel out. This will leave you with a washer with the correct spline that fits the shaft. Then drill out the new steering wheel center splined hole larger that the shaft splines of the column. Then weld the washer onto the center of the new steering wheel. The trick to this is finding a good TIG welder who won't burn down the house welding the washer, and who will accept the risk of doing the job. The steering wheel is kind of an important part of the steering system. A welder might not feel comfortable with that job. My 2-cents.
