Title: Aprilia steering columm
Post by: Tony Stephens on 20 March, 2018, 02:50:38 PM
Anybody got a drawing of an Aprilia steering column or wheel?
I need to identify the splines for the steering wheel boss, to make another boss.
I think the Aurelia used the same fitting.

I have a spare steering wheel that fits an Aprilia with the fine splines, is it of interest?
It is 15" diameter. Wheel now sold.

No, thanks very much, Ade: I am fitting a Brooklands steering wheel, for no reason other than that the car had one when I owned it in the 1970s. I have the wheel and a blank boss, which I need to machine to suit. The splines are the bit I can't do at home, although I can foresee machining the horn button mechanism being a challenge.
Pity the car had all the special bits removed while it was not in my ownership: the Spitfire rear view mirror on the door looked like a very expensive mountain to climb until I got lucky on eBay!
