Ok so i havent gone back to the shaft as yet, but i did notice something which may or may not be signifigant, the grill slats of Dads machine are painted the same green as the inside of the wheels, and as far as i could tell there was none of that green inside the rim, as in the area inside the tyre, there was evidence of a very bright almost lime green, which does look like some sort of etch primer, (very common for alloy).
then stupid me tried to get the steering wheel off the donor chassis, Ha yea right. im starting to think that these things were never designed to pull apart. LOL. A serious puller and having to clamp the puller to the rim of the wheel and a good soaking ( already sprayed it yesterday as well) with inox, a lot of pressure applied and a fair bit of tapping around the hub of the wheel, and eventually it came off, but what a mission... and the good news is........... it actually fits YAY, Das machine no longer has a HT holden steering wheel
Hopefully you can see the green slats on the grille,, just taping the puller to the wheel wasnt enough, it still kept slipping, so had to clamp it
