Thread: Fitting a S2 wire steering wheel to a S2A

Can i suggest the oxy torch followed by the welder....... just cut the existing steering column off, & weld the correct one on. (complete with quirky shiny steering wheel) and bam - there you have it. I would think 1 hr should be enough time including clean up & fire extinguishment, & then you will have time to have an extra coopers to celebrate whilst sitting and admiring your new steering wheel.
No thanks necessary

It should be pointed out that welding steering components quite simply, verboten!

the steering box and relay in my s2a is in need of some remedial works , massage and prolly aroma therapy ....possibly a bit conselling
if i was to gitta complete .. say an early series2 steering colum and wire wheel
it should be an easy fit it to my existing re birthed , folate scrubbed and tibbetin yak fat packed steering box ?
am i assuming right or do i have to gitta steering box with the steering colum etc

wont be takin on hoocho's forts........?? what the! Mr coopers - now i do understand that welding of some components can be seen by some as a little on the "adventurous" side, but where would our forebears been with that sort of attitude. I'm glad captain cook wasnt under your advice when he headed south from the mother country. I mean, lets face it if safety was our primary concern, then we probably wouldnt be driving wobbly old land rovers - we would all be in volvo's! I would say, if you welded up that steering column, it may in fact be the safest part of your pride & joy.
Live a little Mr coopers - if your not on the edge, your taking up too much room.

PS I do agree with your sentiments about Tugboat Bill - may he finally be rid of that mangey stinkin black dog. RIP
