Oh.....yeah I thought the hub was with it too. So no, just sell it as is.

I have not bought a hub. That was the question weather or not to buy one. At the moment I am leaning toward posting on FB marketplace without a hub. It was used on a lot of european cars in the 60's.

I read it as he'd buy a hub to go with it, which cost $250.

The only problem with Brad selling the wheel by itself, what's he going to do with the hub? I've seen the wheel in person and it's gorgeous! Splitting up the pair would be just wrong.

I would sell it as just the wheel.  Reduces the chance someone doesn't buy it because they already have a hub.

I like that hub, with the polished ring....what sort of horn button would go with it?

The Lounge / Steering wheel question

Last post by Willie_B - June 21, 2025, 12:25:59 PM

I got this steering wheel in the last parts buyout I did. Hard to tell if it is new or not. It looks very nice but has some dings and rub marks on. Just wondering if it would sell better if I got a hub to go with it before selling or not. The hub would be new from Nippy Cars and probably be around $250 delivered. The hub is made to take the MKI Austin or Morris center. The going price on ebay for just the steering wheel is $300-400.

More on the messy tenant.  I discovered the all in 1 washer dryer combo isn't drying. Sorta dries, dumps some additional water in there, then spins on 1 minute forever "cooling down". After much research discovered a possible cause is the cold water valve unit. All in 1 units need cold water to condensate to do the drying.  Somehow it triggers the system to dump water in with a faulty sensor.  I figured out how to take it apart and sure enough the water valve and the sensor that would operate during drying is discolored on top and has a crack.  To troubleshoot I dried clothes with the cold water turned off and voila it doesn't dump additional water in when it shouldn't.  New part ordered.
