Neil kindly turned down the old Ruby wheel centre to make a sleeve to fit inside
The repro wheel I recently got on EBay, suitably drilled.
I finished fitting the sleeve to the steering wheel hub this morning .

Basically I relieved the bottom edge of the sleeve so that the tightening bolt could pass through unhindered. Then I remembered that the bottom of the sleeve was likely to abut the solid part of the steering column, so I put a chamfer on that bit of the shank of the bolt that might meet up with the solid bit of the column.

I made some conical recesses in the sleeve for the two grub screws as well and for final assembly I used Gorilla glue which goes on like araldite but seems to expand and ouze out of gaps but goes pretty solid.

I’ll leave it overnight to go well off.

The splined sleeve is a neat fit on the column so may not mount it till I’ve fettled the steering gearbox but that involves removing it first .

I’ve put my “spare” wheel and spider on EBay along with other Seven bits. 

Thanks again to Neil for his support and skill with a lathe.
