The hub on the original steering wheel is a zinc casting and it had started de laminating badly.
Among all the parts I got was a machined hub to accept a modern style wheel. I decided to take this and modify it by adding a lid and milling slots to fit the spokes of the original wheel. Some tricky work but it came out very nice.
Doing this required removing the zinc from the wheel hub; not an easy task.
Machining the slots in the hub. Did the same for the lid and some filing to match them up.
I had to machine a fake nut that would hold the wheel to the steering shaft. I plan to nickle plate it next. The finished product came out nice I think.
