[Spridgets] Steering Wheel project finished

[Rick Fisk]

Hi Bob,

Glad you got it sorted.  I went to my pile-o-parts and looked, but didn't find anything you could use.  Sounds like you have a better setup now anyways.  I've always had good luck with Jeff Zorn too.  Good guy and good prices.  :-)

Just for the record and to disseminate correct info, the MK1 Sprite has a 5/8" steering shaft spline while all else has a 3/4" spline. So, I got a Moto-Lita 13" leather wheel with flat, thick grip, 3 chrome, slotted spokes, and a Moto-Lita hub. Not the cheapest but good quality.

Most other supply shops either didn't know the difference or didn't have a hub. Bugeye.com just added the correct hub to their growing parts availability.

Still can't race due to cataract surgery last March that got infected and just cleared up. I will get the left eye done next week with hopefully better results. Then I can pass my medical exam and get racing (and seeing) again.
