VW-CHROME-STEERING-BOX-AND-SHAFT-COUPLER-17-2584

Above is the VW steering coupler I purchased to isolate the ground for the horn.  It did not fit the u-joint I am using because there are 48 splines on the steering coupler and 36 splines on my u-joint.  Both are 5/8" in diameter.  I went looking for some way to go from 48 splines to 36 splines, but did not find anything.  I can't find anything else that is 5/8" in diameter with 48 splines.  In my search, I ran across a thread on "The Samba" where someone was saying that the splines are not supposed to be an exact fit, but rather the splines are there for friction.  Is this true?  I assumed that if you had 36 splines on the male end, you have to use 36 splines on the female end.
