Pulled my steering wheel and assembly today, and I'm wondering if parts are available for the Teleflex steering system I have? Does anyone know how to identify the model/make of the teleflex equipment? And if parts are still available. Am contemplating rechroming the bright parts, but wondered if parts can be purchased instead? And/or new steering wheels? ------------- Charlie |

Most likely a Big T helm. Not sure if new bezels are available. I had mine replated,some of the steering wheel hub parts are no longer available. Steering wheels are like the gauges you'll have to keep an eye out here or ebay for ones in better shape. Correct Craft just used generic parts- many other manufacturers used the very same parts http://www.courtesymetalpolishing.com/" rel="nofollow - Courtesy Metal Polishing is a chrome plater that many have used here,decent prices, fast turnaround. Here is a picture of some of their work- ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Thanks Gary, you're right about the Big T helm, I found the SeaStar website. Those chrome bezels and trim look like I want mine to look like! I'll call CMP. Unfortunately I couldn't (or didn't know how to) unscrew the center cap on my wheel and broke it. I'll keep an eye out for another wheel and/or the cap. ------------- Charlie |
