Mounting Steering Wheel

Post by Mustang1964s » Fri Aug 14, 2020 8:50 pm

Well the steering wheel had a major come apart.
The new wheel just arrived. Now I get to wait till morning till because 105 is to warm to be in the garage.
The big question is should the screws go into the joints or the solid wood part?
Or does it really make a difference.
The joints look great and solid.
Is there a good method to mount the wood to the new spider?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

The screws would go into the solid part. If installed in the joints would weaken them. pre drill the holes;
