    You could try having a friend introduce you and then asking it out. :^)

    I couldn't resist......

    HAHA, I mean the year of the steering wheel? I couldn't find any vin plates or stamped vin on the front horn. Both horns were badly rusted.

    I will try to resist ... Must not let fingers type what they would like.

    Steering wheels with the horn button first started appearing in 1960. Before then the horn button was on a stalk. Plastic spoke steering wheels started appearing for the 1966 model year. That's as close as I can get. You can try small talk when you take it out on a date, but if it is female you should never ask its age. Unless of course you need to make sure it is 18 years old or over.

    Hey LHD, what are you planning on doing with the signal switch on that steering column? You wouldn't be interested in passing it along to a needy fellow forum member would you?

    I'm glad the column came with the Tex-Magna-Lite switch or i'd also be looking for one. Plan to use it on my build and hope it works. I'm doing a complete S2A bulkhead swap on my S3 and the reason i'm installing the banjo wheel. Sorry I could't help.

    Presumably you mean 1966, as my '73 has plastic spokes?

    Banjo wheel? Really? OK. To each his own.

    They rust and they aren't as comfortable in the hand as the plastic wheel.
