Re: Banjo Steering Wheel - why are they sought after?
I see its a sedan you can do as suggested, it may come through the rear door ,the rod can take a little bending but not much ,a 35 wheel has straight spokes.you need a puller to remove it .loosen of all your bolts on the box maybe replace the top one with a longer one to aid in reassembly.I do have pictorial of how to repair the rim involving silicone rubber on photo bucket, if I can get into it , Ted

Mike , you are right the OP does have a 35 blue passenger car in the avatar and asked the original question about the banjo wheel and asked about having to pull the horn rod.

Re: Banjo Steering Wheel - why are they sought after?
I like the style of the 36 Ford banjo wheel and I have one on my Coupe.
Just a note to those that have a 35 Ford steering wheel that it is a one year only design and my experience has been that they are more rare than the banjo wheel. See attached and note the ribs on the top of the wheel. |

Straight as an arrow is certainly the best option, but the rod has about a 1/16" clearance around the bigger hole in the steering shaft. Meaning, if its not dead on, there is some room for error. I have slid the rod down into the steering shaft to check for drag. If you're close, and still not happy with the drag, spray it with paint and check again, then once you see the problem put it back in the wood block and fix it. Glennpm posted a link to a hamb thread I did a while back that shows all of this. Sorry, I have computer issues at present and can not copy n paste. |
