Looking at the hood stand and noticed there’s a bush where the steering column go’s through made from plastic type stuff, i think it must of melted when I heated the wheel up. Had a look and found a load of bushes and luckily had some with a 3/4” hole in just to fat to fit. I’m not a machinist but thought I’d have a play, I found a bit of 3/4” bar and drilled a hole to hold the bush and clamped it in the lathe. After a play i got what I wanted, maybe not the right way to do it but very pleased with the end result and only used one bush. All fits with no play so might even do the other one.

A bit more done, I seem to have a lot of bits left over 🙄
