Steering Wheel
 

I am mounting a new steering wheel in my 31 coupe and wonder which of the two keyways to mount it on. With the steering gear in the straight ahead position, what should the steering wheel look like?

The choice is your's. Do what you like best, as that's why they offered a choice.

Re: Steering Wheel
 

Choice has to do with driver height, clear field of vision, etc. Different driver conditions/situations require different positioning of wheel spokes. In your case you have a choice not easily given to drivers who already have the steering wheel in place. Sit the car's main driver behind the wheel and 'get a feel' of which setting provides the most visual clarity.

I have two A's One with the spoke,like my boat. One with the space, like my Yukon. For years I have been trying figure out witch one works better.

I look OVER the steering wheel.

Just make sure you can see your speedo.

I read a long time ago that Henry positioned the steering wheel for male driver or female driver. It stated that a woman would be able to see the speedometer better if the wheel spokes were positioned not vertically and horizontally but at a 45 degree.

Thanks for the answers! This must one of the few cases where Henry allowed an option for the fitting of the part! One other question: given the difficulty in removing a steering wheel from the shaft, would it be a good idea to apply some anti-seize compound before bolting it down?

I think so and will be doing the same when I remove mine.

Anti Seize is a great idea.

At first I thought that was the OLD Lady in the Old GREEN L.T.D, that HAWKS all the Stop Leak Crap, but that's NOT her. Does that dumb OLD Lady know she's still in PARK???
