[Healeys] Steering Wheels

[josef-eckert at t-online.de]

Patrick,
The BJ8 wheel is of adjustable type, the BN wheel is a non-adjustable one. 
They differ in the arrangement of the spokes and also in design. You cannot 
fit an adjustable wheel to a non-adjustable steering column and vice versa.

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?
