Looking for advice for putting a SS Wheel on my existing steering componants. The shaft on my steering is a square tapered shaft. I contacted Amy at Schmitt Steering and sned pics, she will get back with me.
Any help from any of you will be helpful.
I put some pics on my personal page to give you some idea of what I'm talking about.

Never saw one of those before. Looks to be some ancient rack system with a tilt wheel? You'll probable have to at least get a new helm if not complete system unless Amy can do some magic.

I posted two new pictures on my personal page of the existing helm with cable. It is a Kiekhaefer-Mercury Rotary Ride Guide #54130.
Has anyone heard of these? Can the helm be replaced or am I looking at a complete new steering system: helm, bezel, cable and motor connection?

I've never seen one out here on the West Coast but maybe someone else has.

Thanks, I had been away from WC for 45 minutes or so searching the web and had just found the site you mentioned. Will give them a call in the morning.
