Splined taper
 

I have a motor with a splined taper (which has a thread above it for the
securing nut) on the output shaft I'd like to use for a different purpose.
Any ideas about constructing some form of adaptor? A pile of washers with
holes drill out appropriately welded together? I need to connect it to a
plain flat lever made of steel.

I bodged a (splined) pitman arm onto the splined output of a different
steering box with a strip of copper pipe wrapped around and tightened
up.
Thinking similarly (but with only one spline) I wonder if car body
filler could be used to "cast" a suitable connector to interface with
your lever (that I can't picture just yet ;) ?

If you have a threaded connection at the little end of the taper, then
you can bodge out of almost any sort of filler within a tube housing.
Tightening the thread afterwards gives enough friction to grip.
