[Healeys] Steering Wheels

[Patrick & Caroline Quinn]

Hello

 

Are all Big Healey steering wheels created equal?

 

Attached are two photos. One is of a BJ8 steering wheel that appears to be
melting (it has a cover on it) and the other is one from a 100 that I was
thinking of refurbishing with resin, India ink, shoe polish and elbow
grease.

 

Please ignore the black rim, but look closely at the metal prongs, rods or
whatever they are called. Clearly the gap in the middle of the BJ8 wheel is
greater than the other wheel.

 

Apart from condition, the 100 wheel is the same as fitted to the BN3 which
dates from the very early 1950s.

 

Would anyone know?
