Seasons greetings to all!
I hope a reader on the Forum can "steer" me in the right direction. My car is an early 1928 with the older type steering wheel held by a clamp bolt passing through a shallow groove in the inner column.
When cornering or changing directions the steering wheel turns momentarily on the column before steering is transferred to the road wheels. ie, there is free movement between the steering wheel and the column. I have fully tightened the clamp bolt and the wheel is a tight fit on the column.
I am considering shimming the steering wheel or lining the shallow groove with epoxy, or both, and would be pleased to hear from others who have experienced similar problem.
