Well I finally had a chance to check my steering wheel to see if it splined through the gap between the wheel and throttle lever.. It appears to be splined... Just playing it safe before I order my wheel, how many splines are there in a splined wheel? Looks like a fairly coarse spline

Hey there Brian .. I am sure things will fit out the back window .. The AA has been a bit idle for a while .. Just myself showing interests in her .. The younger generation just don't have the time ..

Thanks ... It really does POP ( excuse the pun ) out at you in the sunshine

I am thinking it should work .. I am a little worried about removing the entire column , as far as I can tell,it has not been removed since day one .. Will check it out Monday ( on holidays this week ) I will order a wheel and likely a new switch rebuild kit .. Maybe even a rod .. Will see ...

My rear window assembly (frame and all ) is removable ..I had to replace it as the old one ( made of wood) was rotten.. If I can remove the rod through the opening can I short cut the job without pulling the column? Will take all of 20 minutes to remove the rear window assembly

Sounds like an interesting job .. Thanks Tom

Thanks Tom .. I assume I need to remove the column to have enough room to pull out the light switch rod ?

I need to change the steering wheel on our Pepsi truck ... Should I have some other parts on hand for the light switch and horn rod or does this come apart fairly easily? As far as I can tell this assembly has not been apart for at least 35 years .. Any advise would be appreciated

Did not know that trick .. Thanks .. will check it out next week

Been a while since I have been on .Is there any way of knowing what type of steering wheel I have , splined or keyed , on our early 28 AA without taking it apart ?It was built around March of 28 .

Have to watch the Beverley Hillbillies Marathon

My guess is you will have to repair the threads with a heli-coil .. You would have to pull the head to repair though .. I would for sure fix it though .

... you can get a rubber checkered floor that comes in 8 foot widths and what ever length you need .. just google rubber checkered floor .. allot of people use this at car shows as it simply rolls up to move ..It is also felt backed so you can use it anywhere .. about 15 bucks per linier foot...

they must have made different styles .. ours is on a Canadian made engine from early 28 ... no problem removing the distributor on this one .. here is the advertisement and our heater

here is the advertisement for the heater ... Ours is on a Canadian made engine that was made in early 28 ... I like the price .. plus installation mind you
