I just called
Airgas Rutland Tool

They have a 9/16-28 round (1-1/2") adjustable die, model 2108 0297, in stock
at $17.70.
However, I looked at the steering wheel nut from my Sports 6 under a
magnifying lens for Andy Mace, and I don't believe it is exactly 28 tpi. My
28tpi thread gage just doesn't quite fit. But, it's hard to tell for sure,
and I didn't take the next step of pulling the steering wheel to check the
male threads, so I could be mistaken.
Now what we need is for someone with a bunged-up shaft to buy the die and
try it ...
