John Addy Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hi, Some help please. I've just swapped the steering wheel from my Mk3 Spitfire for a flashy woodrim and boss from Rimmer Bros. So far, so good. I had expected to use the old wheel and boss on my Special which I thought had a Herald steering column. Turns out this splined shaft measures around 19mm in diameter compared to the 15mm of the Sptfire. So if they are not interchangeable what other vehicle bosses will fit the Herald (or perhaps I haven't got a Herald column)Cheers all, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The same basic steering column was used on all Heralds and Spitfires, until the late 1500 Spitfires got their revised steering column with the chunky switchgear. On that basis, it can't have a Herald column in there. Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Addy Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Thanks Bill, I suspected as much - now comes the problem of finding a boss to fit the larger shaft. Or perhaps changing the column for an identified one might be a better option. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
