Well we are still at work on the helm . The mock up engine control is just for me
To play with. smile.gif Conrad told me about a morse control on ebay I was winning it
Right up to the last 30 seconds of the auction DARN. My next problem is with
The wheel it has a 1 in stright bore and all of the helm stations I found have a ¾ in
Tapered hole. Sofar I havent been able to find an adapter I was thinking I might
Be able to get a junk steering wheel and turn down the hub to I in and cut a keway in it.
If anyone has any ideas please feel free to chime in ….
