Great! Thanks for the advise about the size.

By the way, maybe it's the picture or my screen, but it looks black. Is it?

I Will order a "dark stain" one but if it is so "blackish" it's really too dark for a Tawny Stain Dashboard...

Actually I do not know what the finish of my steering wheel is called. It was on the car when I bought it......It is solid black!

Shall be "RAVEN" color then. The Moto Lita dark stain is quite closer to the Tawny stain that MMC makes.

Hi Javier
If you still plan to get Moto Lita steering wheel then I would recommend the deep rim option, which makes it much nicer to grip.
Cheers

Later cars have the 20 spline Traven one, there are a couple of threads on here about it, search “Traven”
You’ll wish you did have the Lifeline one though!

I have the earlier Lifeline one with a Brooklands (Riley) steering wheel. It used to be a pig to get it off and on until I cleaned up the heavy milling/broaching marks on the splines on both wheel and column part with a warding file. Now as long as you line up the broad spline nearly correctly, it slips on perfectly every time, without the binding and jamming it used to suffer from. I use copper grease on the splines.

Good idea!

That reminds me I was trying to use my warding files for something else over the week-end and given that they must be 40 years old, well used, blunt and all their wooden handles have split and died, they are way beyond their sell by date. I must get some new ones. Having had a look, the CK ones with handles look nice and will be made from good German steel not Chinese cheese.

Those are the ones. They are also a reasonable size. Some of the warding files are too small for anything other than jewellery or small locksmithing.
