That's how my series 2 steering wheel comes off. Loosen the three small
screws on the backside of the hub and the center emblem just pops out.
Underneath is a nut holding on the wheel. The series 2 cars have
collapsible steering wheels and don't have a horn button, instead the horn
is activated by pushing in the turn signal lever. Not sure if this is how
it works in the series 1.

Frank,
B B B I don't believe that center emblem is meant to pry off. If you look
at
the rear of the steering
wheelB you should B find 3 small countersunk screws. If you loosen them a
bit
I think the
emblem should come out for you.
B B Hope that helps.
Andy,
B B I know my TR has the same 3 screws on the back of its steering wheel to
remove the directional
control head/horn butttonB unit B . But I don't know about Spitfires. You
might take a look also.

Likewise...anyone have hints on getting Type 1 Jaguar XKE steering wheel
off? B The horn button doesn't seem to want to pop off and I don't want
to screw things up with prying. B My luck, I'll break something or cause
some self-inflicted wound on my car that turns into a bigger headache
than the original issue.
Frank.
