Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Extra Lifeline steering wheel quick release issue

Hi all,

I bought an extra lifeline steering wheel quick release which is the same as the one currently in my new to me 2016 three wheeler to use on a second steering wheel I have. The new lifeline quick release is not going on the car's steering "boss" though. It appears that the boss on the car is slightly too big, maybe the spines on the new part are slightly different? What are some suggestions to make this work?

Have talked to Lifeline in the past and they insist that the weld on spline and QR are supplied as a matched pair and weren't impressed when I asked if their spline manufacturing was so bad that they had to hand fettle everything. I replaced my original QR which had started out looser than it should be and had got worse with time, with a new one which just fitted, and no, I didn't cut the splines off the steering column and weld on the "matching" new spline.
I wouldn't be surprised if your new QR will fit the original spline with only the most minor of fettling. Might be worth giving things a clean up with contact cleaner then blueing up the splines and seeing where it is tight before starting in with the needle files?
