My Blitz's

Hi Bob

What I really would be interested in seeing is a video of how the wood steering wheels were actually made. Some CMPs seem to be made from 4 sections while some seem to have 2 sections, my HUP has only 2 sections.

I would suspect that it is a combination of steam bending and some kind of machine duplicator system like used making rifle stocks.

The wood penetrating stuff works wonders in some applications, I used polyurethane sealer on all the wood frame blocks and spacers on the HUP overhaul. Basically submerged all the wood parts and let them sit submerged for about 12 hours.

Thanks for the reminder on the source for the horn contacter down on the column. One of the common problem I have seen with these units is the terminal end gets loose from the shaft which can some times be fixed with a solder.

Cheers Phil
