Neil discovered a rusty, probably irreparably Damaged
Ruby steering wheel in his pile of old Austin bits.
So after soldering up my Scuttle petrol tank I
took a disc cutter to this old steering wheel and cut off the splined hub.
When the new spider casting comes back from JB Neil will
Use his lathe to machine down the splined part and then shrink
it into a pre bored hole in the new casting plus secure the two parts
with some grubs screws tapped in from the side of the hub.
In the meantime I’ve borrowed Neil’s Box Saloon type steering
Wheel so should he back on the road by the weekend!
Still to fix the dynamo and brake light switch though.
