Greetings from sunny (for now) Cleveland, site of the proposed shrine to "Our Lady of Perpetual Road Construction." Well, work on the 122 California Special is going as well as can be expected...like a three-legged cow on ice, as it were....but not too bad considering the car's nearing its 40th birthday. Parts on order; gas tank boiled, blasted and sealed; clutch and brake hydraulics gone over; carbs completely rebuilt and bead blasted; valves adjusted; new thermostat, belts and hoses; and blah, blah.....should be ready to fire up after what I anticipate to be a flurry of activity all at once, soon. Interior is next, and at this point, I wish to convey my sincerest appreciation and thanks to Virgil, Brett, Leonard, the cats at ipd, Oliver ("hold those parts!") and the rest of the 122 guardian angels out there who have provided me with sometimes good, sometimes great and sometimes sorta marginal advice, but who have nonetheless taken the time to help me navigate previously uncharted waters. OK enough gushing...let's get to the point. Steering wheel is too large, and too broken to fit in with my vision of what the car is going to look like. Has anyone fitted an aftermarket wheel? I'm looking high end, like Nardi or Simpson as opposed to a cheaper one like a Grant. Who fits? Who doesn't? Any fitment problems with the horn? I'd like to hear your experiences....and, as always, thanks ever so much.
