    Hi John, That's a good price for your hK steering wheel, I see rare spares have them for over $700, Is the HT Steering wheel the same as the HK, With my wheel it has been fixed as the plastic is cracked and has been filled in, Look bad, Cheers

    Linz- HK always has this woodgrain effect. Do you remember how we met through that Bathurst 350 motor- his was HT and had this wood type wheel.There is a second hand repaired one on trade me, but thats what it is- old and cracked . I got mine using evilbay from Big City Corvettes .

    A story on HK steering wheels.......

    When Beechey had his Warwick Yellow GTS 327 he came to Symmons when it was fairly new (3-4 months old) He related how he had ordered this "special" racing steering wheel from the States only to find when it arrived it was exactly the same as the standard GTS wheel already fitted.

    This was at that meeting....

    Apparently a young chap called Randall Edgell held his hand up to work on the V8s then.
    Randall was busy today, so I left a detailed message with Tim. Gave him a big congrats on his fine win yesterday.

    Don't know if you ever meet Mr Spears, but he's still the same, last time I saw him, curly hair and all, he even had his little Escort van. easy go guy.

    How is Randall these days? One of the last times I saw him, he had just rebuilt the motor for my Fiat 500 in his folks garage.......

    Randell is working on bigger engines at moment. Think he still has a wokshop in Wairau Rd (been there for years)

    Some more stunning Bill Pottinger photos of the Monaro at Wigram in 1970. I've also posted these on Bill's thread. Love the 'Beware Dog' decal on the door!
