being this side of the globe and about 70 miles from Simmos,if I can help let me know
Hi guys just thought i would mention it.
I bought a steering wheel from Simmonites in the last two months and as i was driving home the other night from work i noticed a kind of squeaking everytime i moved the wheel.
Slightly annoyed more than anything as the steering wheel replacement for ANR323 has never been much chop as it seemed a bit floppy and weak from the get go.
Anyway i parked up after a long day at the office and thought no more about it until this A.M. when i left to go to work, as i got in the blue beast the sun glinted off something metallic on the matt black steering wheel, "hello" i had a quick look and sure enough the fixing holes had cracked so i whipped it off and had another look and there was only one solid hole on there "holy crap" the other two had bought it.
Suffice to say the old trusty made a swift return to it's rightful place knackered rubber and all.
now i am wondering what to do is there any point getting in contact with Simmonites? maybe just to give them the heads up i suposse so some other purchaser doesn't end up worse off than I.
funny thing is two days ago i ordered a genuine one from famous four as i was never happy with the mountey's one ...this was after barbigello quoted me the best part of $300 the same thing i have purchased from the u.k. for 55 quid the shockers!!

interesting stuff i was born a softy southerner (aka essex boy) does blackwell have a wooden spire on the church still we had a photo that was of the church in Blackwell from about 1900 and it was a wooden spired tower ...as for Simmo's i will mail them tomorrow and see what Sharon says about it
it is called St Werburgh on Church Hill,the tower is of stone,but it was rebuilt in 1879 so the original could have been wooden
did your grandad stay there and work at the pit in Blackwell?
Are you saying only 3 of those tiny setscrews were holding your wheel on?? Mine has 12 and feels more than strong enough.
There has to be some kind of mistake only about 1/3 of the wheel is bolted down,no wonder it felt weakand wobbly Even the Chinese don't do that kind of engineering.Can you post a better pic of the whole boss and wheel assembly.
And you other posters, here is a fellow member who could have had the wheel come away at any moment and all you can do is hijack the thread and prattle on like schoolgirls........geeeez!!
ps I'm not called grumpy old man for nothing
