How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Jordan Baker]

Rebuilt the steering gear box and the steering wheel this past week. Thankfully it didn't involve too much work as the internals were all in really good shape. Everything measured up well within the specs. I did the usual POR15 treatment for the case and the tube. A new wire was run for the horn connection between the button and the contact brush. One thing I wanted to clean up was the inside of the steering shaft as it had a lot of surface rust. I ended up using a 4' long steel rod with a slot cut in the end. I then wrapped some sandpaper into the slot. Put the whole thing into the tube then attaced my drill on the end and let it rip...errr..spin. A few minutes later I was done.
