Technical Board / Restoration Help / Re: Original Steering Wheel Restorations

Slim, Hi bud.. I did mine as well. It was hard work by hand as mine had a lot of paint on it. I sanded it back to the light brown base(resin I think). Fill all cracks(on the wheel) with body filler. re sand. Take it to a spray painter and it should only cost about $30.00 to get it sprayed in 2 pak. Mine come up great,Good feel and look. Make sure you fill the gaps as otherwise you can get airbubbles. Sth.Penrith Smash in Batt street,Penrith did mine but I'm sure you would have a contact closer. You probably could do it with a sander but I wasn't game enough. Especially around the knobby grip bits on the rear of the wheel. Hope this helps ya. See ya soon Kev..

Can anyone help with instructions for fitting a taxi rail on a FC. Exactly where do the brackets go ?. Do the two holes go at the top or the one hole ?. Ta Kev..

H everyone, I'm after an old electrical switch possibly 1950's for my dash for the fog lights I put on the FC. Open to suggestions (clean ones !!). I think there are ones for in the dash/under the dash or ones that screw into some sort of bracket ?.. If possible in good working condition. Many thanks Kev..

What a crack up, $90.00 . Unbelievable isn't it. Now that doesn't even get you a decent spare part.... Lucky doesnt seem to cover it mate, your car is superb. Now people are realising just what classics these cars are. All the best , Kev.

I agree with the other guys, you will get caught eventually. I have gotten a lot of stuff off people on the internet. I have only been dissapointed once. Try and suss out good suppliers, 4 hammers and Slim are two good people I have gotten good stuff off in the past.Ken Mclean is another. If in doubt ask. I was warned about the guy that stiffed me but he was sure of what he had, when I got it it was nothing remotely like what he had described. Good luck.Most people are honest on this site. Regards Kev
