M3 Halftrack suspension spring compression tool needed

[maple_leaf_eh]

Friday afternoon Nick circulated pictures of the correct tool being used correctly. A supplier came through with a pair of 1" diameter rods with threads on both ends, and a square end for turning into the blind hole.

Second search item. The M3 is going back together nicely, and it is time for a few road handling improvements. Att is a shot of the cracked plastic steering wheel. Yes, they can be repaired but .... doing this restoration justice means not reinstalling broken or damaged parts. Does anyone have a good US Autocar halftrack steering wheel and horn assembly?
