    Thats great.

    But did you notice someone put your steering wheel on the wrong side!

    It would be if you're driving on the wrong side as well. As it happens it's mighty handy when driving on the right side of the road

    Yeah, quite a few people have put that remark. The panel also has a LR tachometer in style with the speedometer. Seems to be pretty rare they tell me . . . . . Original steering wheel is also rare nowadays because over here most were replaced in the 70's with modern SIII wheels. And the old ones were scrapped.


    I will make a few more detailed pics and take some measurements of the levers but I'm somewhat tied up at the moment. You guys are not in a hurry, are you ?

    I'll soon need to consider how to mount my S1 drum to the LT230 and use a standard S1 handbrake lever arrangement (or an X-Eng unit and make an adapter for the S1 lever) - I dont have enough space to for the standard & wider LT230 drum.
    Hi Jon. I used the std LT230 drum as they're much larger than the series drum. Gotta have a decent handbrake!

    How lucky were you then.

    Your vehicle looks great and I really like the LT230 mechanism.

    I think the problem with the steering wheels is that they are something like bakalite and when the outer finish wears off the wheels are finished. Soft tops left out in the open were the worst for degrading. It was simply easier to use the later plastic wheels.

    Thank you Twice !

    I am rebuilding an LT230 to part time 4WD and 1:1,003 ratio to finish the conversion properly.

    And yes, the steering wheel is kinda fragile but still in pretty good shape. My car has been stored indoors most of the time and although we have much less sunshine than you, after 50 years it will certainly make a difference
