Steering Column & or Shaft (Brass Era) Help needed. Service? Parts?

I'm looking for a early brass steering set-up... (about 1910 era) or possible contacts, advice or shop to build up a steering column (or just shaft) for a 1910 era car. <span style="font-weight: bold">See link below with images.</span> It's for a custom project car I have been working on for the past 7 years.

It will have 16 3/4" to 17" wood wheel, brass spider and 1 1/2" brass column.

If I use the spider that I have, it will need a 1 1/16" diameter shaft, (where it fits spider) and needs to be at least 40" long. The bottom of shaft detail will not matter (if I locate a used part) as it will connect to a U-joint. Top will need to fit to spider, thread for nut, keyway, etc.

Was there a common brass washer that went under nut to cover keyway and larger hole? Guess I could make one...unless available.

I have more detailed information & photos on a web site I put together yesterday.
