[Tigers] Tigers Digest, Vol 17, Issue 18

Thu Mar 7 16:38:00 MST 2024

I still have a few of the steering wheel hub repair kits left.
I am not sure if we will have another batch of them made.
They are listed on eBay and the CAT forum or just send me an email.  I am
65sunbeam.  My friend does make new Tiger wood steering wheels from original
bare metal blanks. He will have a few ready to go soon.  He does not restore
old steering wheels though.
Does Ken Corbin still do steering wheels?  I have not heard lately.
Thank you
Eric

Ken Corbin is the guy

I believe there is a video of his work somewhere.

Think it was Ken Corbin?

There are some great step by step guides on the TEAE newsletters and also
online ... Depending how bad it is.. it's likely you can get a great result
by yourself.

You can also now straight replace the cracked and warped hubs with a delrin
one from Eric G.
