Chasing a batwing or even a steering wheel boss to suit a '54 for old mates roadster we're fixing up. Anything at all considered.

Cheers, Rhett.

when you say boss, do you mean just the middle casting with the spline in it?

like this?

I meant like a boss for a sports wheel, but do you think there's enough meat in that casting to machine it into an adaptor?

Ill have a closer look when I go and payout on the dodgy snail build later

I have that flat 4 pre 59 boss if that help Rhett.

So when did the splines change?
This thing has a custom column made, the steering wheel end has a large coarse spline. It had a flat early bug wheel with it, but a fine spline one.

Tried a bat wing on it and it's perfect

Speaking of 54 column's? Is mine still in the Heb?

Posted: **Fri Jan 24, 2014 2:20 pm**

I don't think it ever went in?

I'm sure it's still there somewhere?

You need it back?

Go a three spoke somewhere.... I'll dig out and check it out...

Pretty sure a late fine spline wheel will fit on a early coarse spline shaft but not the other way around

Yeah that's it Dibba

Did you sort this out mate? Definitely not enough meat in the stock boss I'm afraid

Mmmm

Alan has ordered a boss from the states, hopefully be here soon.
Using the 59ish wheel for now.
