I was just visiting with Ken Corbin yesterday who is moving to Montana to be with his kids in a couple weeks. He has one original / restored steering wheel left then no more. It's not cheap however somewhere between six and seven hundred bucks. But where else are you going to get a brand new original Tiger steering wheel. I have two Tigers and have them on both. They are just super.

> Dave tells me? that Ken is no longer taking wheels to repair, but he may have one remaining steering wheel ready to go.303-364-5787 is his current phone number until May first 2017. I hope this helps those persons looking for a reconditioned steering wheel.

> Allan, there is an how to restore you steering wheel to original appearance, including the material to use during the replacement of that black piece of material. I can't recall who made the post or were it can be found?BUT it is very good. I had it but?someone stole my yahoo account and luckily I saw on ebay I was selling a motorcycle or some high dollar con. When yahoo returned my account, all of the contents of my Tiger folder were gone. I was sick, still am. Perhaps ?Jay Laiffman can help. I don't know if he is maintaining his Fathers website, if he is, that is where I would start.Tony Lang (TtT)
