Loony tries it for size. The big question now is- in the straight ahead position, should the spokes be + shaped or X shaped?

Yeah, that seems logical if you're holding the wheel at the 3.0.clock & 9.0.clock positions Clive -but I've got a feeling old 4 spoked cars like Model Ts for instance, had them in the + position. Not that it really matters -there's about 2 inches of freeplay in the steering box, (normal I was told, even by the SVA examiner), so I can turn it almost 90 degrees without the wheels actually changing direction at all.

+ Now I just need to find someone to machine me a new mounting boss, hopefully incorporating the Monkeyhead centre cap from the Moggy wheel -yes, I'm looking at you Mr Newbie!  I shall pretend that I didn't just read that!

Sorry Dave. I was going to PM you about it before posting here! Fancy a little paying commission? The new wheel's got a 5 or 6 splined centre boss, while the Moggy steering column has a single Woodroffe keyway I think.

Lovely wheel  Question is more where do you hold the wheel as to which looks better , when cruising it should be comfortable. |

For some reason I was expecting you to tell me off for buying it Uncle Kev!
The current Morris Minor wheel has 2 horizontal spokes, so I usually drive with my right hand on the wheel & my thumb hooked over the spoke, (on normal roads it's light enough to steer with just one finger & thumb). So I guess the + position would work best. Need to smooth the back of the spokes though cos they're a bit raw edged at the moment.

Money could have gone towards a performance cam or rings , or bearings or... We'll have to fit you with reins, like Anton, to keep a tight hold to keep you away from the 'bling'. |
