AndrewC Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have a 1978 Spitfire with what I believe is the original steering wheel. This is cracking on the rim and I want to change it, but I can't see how to remove the centre boss as it seems to be integral with the rest of the wheel. The centre plate, which just the word 'triumph' appears to fit under a lip. It appears if someone has tried to prise this out at sometime, as there as marks round the edge.I'm sure I'm missing something simple here. Could someone point me in the right direction please.Thanks in advance for any assistance.Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Do you have got a picture of the steering wheel ? I also do have a mid 1978 spitfire and mine is just with a sort of rubber center that you pull off .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsbody47uk Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Do not remove loosened nut completely until you have jarred the wheel off the splines!. A steering wheel in the face hurts!! Don't bother asking me how I Know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
