Wow, that bonnet is not your average fixer-upper  Best of luck with it. Standards aren't that common. Remember, it's a lot cheaper to learn from other people's experience than your own. That's what the club and the forum are here for. cheers RET |

Hey FC 1958,
Thats my old FC> I can't believe it.
I had it about 20 years ago and bought it as a wreck! I sold it to a guy how blew up the motor and he just abandoned it! It was a great car back then. I was thinking about it the other day cos it had original number plate surrounds.... not any more! Its not the original interior obviously but it still looks in pretty good shape!
Got some pictures that i will have to scan. Where do you live??
Regards
Nick

Best to leave it all intact as it is and remove the column in one piece.
However, this is how it is done.
1. Disconnect all wires coming out of steering column.
2. Remove small cover plate holding wires in place on the column.
3. Remove the horn contact ring via the 2 small screws and withdraw wire through column.
4. Remove screw holding the indicator cover & remove.
5. Attach a draw wire to the remaining wires emerging from the steering column.
6. Remove 3 screws visible around the centre of the opening and withdraw indicator assy and wires up through column and leave draw wire in place.
7. Remove the large spring and seat from the steering shaft.
8. This exposes the gearshift support which is retained by three bolts - after removal of these bolts and the gearshift lever, the honey pot can be withdrawn
When installing ALL the wires have to be attached to the draw wire before pulling it through.
