I'm pretty sure the quick release I used was a Moroso hex style purchased
through Summit.
It slipped over the TR3 steering shaft without shortening it. I could even
grind off the weld and put a stock wheel back on. I did take a little off the
hex fitting to get the wheel closer to the dash trim. Just enough for
comfortable finger clearance, yet extending my arms out as far as I could in
the short TR3 space.
I made a simple drawing of my adapter and a friend machined it. It's very
trick, but it has thickness of 3/4"-1", if I remember correctly. I could have
eliminated the need the take material of the hex adaptor had I used a piece of
sheet.
I've seen simple adaptors made of aluminum, say 1/8" thick. Easy enough to work
without the need of a lathe.
The hex adaptor does have a bit of play in it, but there are more precision
spline types available. Get the quick release first. Then figure out the rest.

Buy the quick release hub from Pegasus and then have an aluminum
adaptor plate made to mate the steering wheel and hub. You will also
need to shorten the steering shaft to accept the male end of the quick
release hex end.
