I need to borrow a steering wheel
Hi.
Next weekend Im collecting a 1950s car for restoration. It is missing the steering wheel, which obviously makes moving it very difficult.
Does anyone have an old steering wheel laying around the garage I could borrow for a couple of days?
Because of the timescales, I would need to collect so fairly close to La Souterraine in Dept. 23
Thanks.
Paul

Hi Pogo, as long as you are not planning to drive it, but simply manoeuvre it, just clamp a largish mole grip onto the steering column spline and away you go. Worked for me some years ago. What car is it? Just being nosey. Stinky.

Its a Jaguar Mk1. Pre morse car for anyone not sure.
I dont want to do that in case I damage the splines or thread.
It doesnt have and engine or box so should be light, but the steering will be heavy to dont want to ruin a good column.

Use a trolley jack under the front axle, then turn the road wheel to where you want it to go.

Aha, thats it, great idea. Well done escapee. Ive had all sorts of weird and wonderful ones, but that is the one I will use.
Thanks so much everyone, if a wheel doesnt turn up, I will manage now.
