[Healeys] Adaptation of adjustable steering wheel control head to non-adjustable wheel

[WILLIAM B LAWRENCE]

It's not really a matter of adapting it to the steering wheel, but to the 
stator tube. This can be done  by removing the switch base from the 
adjustable stator assembly (three screws on the back side of the switch 
base) and installing it on a non-adjustable stator tube. The wiring is the 
same, but some of the non-adjustable wheels had a different (fancier) center 
and horn button.
