I made one out of a scrap of lexan (really) for the 63
Classic. Two bolts into the 'sheel, a center bolt and nut to
do the pulling.

You may be right, the early-early ones I think use the concentric
hole type puller. Eh, that's what welders a refor, right?!

I used a stock Grant kit on the 63 Classic, I just can't recall
which one. The diameter was smaller than the steerin column
shell, but I just made a round thin flat disc and bolted
it to the back of the adapter, the trim cover met it and it
worked fine.
