Subject: Re: Steering wheel spokes
These spokes have the exact correct size and thickness and are made of modern spring steel - rather better than the original. As many of us know, the lower spoke is often broken because one usually touches it when climbing in the drivers seat. Many Lagondas drive around with one broken spoke - my car did for 9 years; it didn't look good and was inconvenient but not really dangerous at all. Never failed the MOT. I have seen many Lagondas with a primitively repaired spoke (poor attempts at welding, ugly bushes and even tape).
A well-known steering wheel refurbisher in Britain is very good but takes many months to do it at an exhorbitant price.
These spokes will enable us to do the job ourselves (as I just did) quick and at a fraction of the costs.
I have three left at £95 - which is what I paid myself; no profit.
I wonder why the Newsletter did not publish my ad - I was promised that it would be put in. The fact that Arnold Davey does no longer handle the advertising does not seem to be an improvement.
