Listers, I am in a bit of a quandary.  In my quest to restore my 1970 GT6+
to its almost showroom/as it left the dealer condition for Triumphest/VTR,
I need a bit of assistance.
I have managed to find an original steering wheel and mounting boss/hub to
replace the Lecarra for the show (apparently the hub/boss has no separate
part number, but is part of 160038 steering wheel and pad assy for those so
inclined) but it has somehow lost a crucial piece.  The part I am referring
to is a small, pressed on metal flanged ring, pressed onto the central
casting of the hub that the horn button mounts into.  This flanged piece
secures the mounting pad to the assy when you press the pad over the
flange. Now, I can make a new flanged piece, but I need the dimension from
the top edge of the casting it's pressed on to, to the top edge of the
flange as installed on the hub. Also the outer diameter of the flange
itself.  If anybody has a hub/boss lying around, or a column without the
pad and horn button mounted, that could take a couple of measurements for
me I would really appreciate it  any pre 76 Spitfire/GT6 or TR6 should be
the same as far as this part is concerned 

Thanks -
