Hi-Tech question for TJD
x2 ! Looks great. It's the extra details like the FIA wheels mixed with Halibrand rears that really do it (even more so!) :D Enjoy! Glen

Why are the wood 6 bolt pattern steering wheel all dished
Larry's correct. The 6 bolt pattern is much larger on the flat spoke wheels on early cars. Interesting comments from Dan regarding the stress cracking. A dished wheel is inherently much stronger by...

Updates
Oh, very nice! Hard to beat a 427 roadster (unless it's an FIA, of course :cool:). Great to see combinations like yours that really do look like the original 427 cars. Cheers, Glen

Firstly, if you do buy a good quality “flat” steering wheel – for example a Moto-Lita – you won’t have any problems. In fact, most, if not all of the Moto-Lita wheels to suit period Jaguars are flat,...

Crush washer
I don't like the single use Cu crush washers for a number of reasons. I'm using solid Cu washers or if not easily available, aluminium washers. Cheers, Glen
