One of the 3 'grub screws' is BOTH FROZEN AND HOLLOW in my half-installed
steering wheel!  Luckily, about 1/8" of it's tip protrudes and shows.  Can it
still work?

Prieviously, I had seen where another grub screw had malfunctioned and thus I
ordered a replacement from Moss.  (The replacement was superior as it was
allen-wrench compatable!)  However, I don't think this present problem can be
remedied with a replacement grub screw.

Obviously, 1/8" of it protruding might be long enough in conjunction with the
other two working 'grub screws'.  I now see the usefullness of the stator tube
plate!

My thinking is 'yes'.  It's at least worth a try.  I think that if I have to
start over, drilling it out and then retapping it that
this process could be attempted with the control head loose in the steering
wheel.
So, I'm diving in!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anybody thinks otherwise, then give me a quick shout and a good reason not
to run the wires down the stator tube tonight!
thanks,
