[Healeys] Early BN1

[Healeys] Early BN1Wright,

It seems the same locking collar was used with a number of other aftermarket
wood accessory wheels. I have just yesterday sourced and promised one to a
fellow here in Southern Ontario with an early BN1. The wheel itself has no
markings or brand name on it. The collar is much smaller than the later 6
cylinder adjustable collar. It measures approx. 1 7/8" diameter by 1 1/2"
thick with 8 slight finger indentations in the rear half of the outer surface.
It has the following stamped into the outer black plastic surface:
ADJUSTABLE WHEEL
BLUEMEL'S
PAT. NO. 494902

So the collar might not be as rare as originally thought.
Happy hunting

  I am working on a very early BN1 with adjustable steering.  I am missing the
screw type locking mechanism for the steering wheel.  It is quite different
from the later cars.  Would anyone have one of these or a source?

  Also would like some suggestions on those that do steering wheel
restoration?

  Thanks,

  Wright Bagby
