OK that was fun. You have to pull the steering shaft out to make the groove appear.

MOMO 3503 hub. Had to grind off about an 1/8th from the cancellator fingers, but other than that, no problema. New horn button and a new look. Feels great. Thanks JT.

Learning to make fuel lines from the spares off a 66. (Thanks Keith) Mine were butchered when PO put in an electric fuel pump which I had to remount onto a section of frame close to the tank and below tank level. I really enjoyed making the lines. I had to practice, but one can get very good at the flares.

Since the in line was my first attempt I shrank wrapped it to smooth the bending process and it did help. It copper/nickel line. I'll be dead before it rusts. It is a temporary fix for now.
