junkuser Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 That seems a very coarse thread to retain a steering wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotoflex Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I believe KF11404U's is fine thread, too.You said late, I'm supposing yours is after XX20000 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nang Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Looks like someone has stripped the original thread and runa a coarse thread die over it or even put the shaft in a lathe and recut it. . Looks smaller than usual. Strange.Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 My GT6 is a very late Mk3 and it has a fine thread. Looks like you should just replace the upper shaft for a good 2nd hand unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paudman Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I think from the pic you can just see the old thread in between the coarse thread? Looks like yours has been recut, as previous posters have said. Chic Doig or other breaker will find you a good s/h replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
