Hi All,
I have the following Fat Man steering wheel and was needing to know what the pin looks like that is missing in mine to hold the wheel in place when driving.
Also is anyone aware what brand this is?
bump . . .
The underside of the bridge should have a counter bore in it to accommodate a compression spring which is held captive to the release pin.
Think of the release pin as a doorknob assembly with a knob at only one end.
The shank end will have a snap ring groove or something to retain the spring which will hold the shank end engaged into the steering wheel hub recess.
There were several steering wheels made similar to that. Lockwell was one of them. But, somehow, I do not think that is a Lockwell. I could very well be wrong. I had (and have) a Spencer fatman wheel that is somewhat similar, but different enough that I think we can rule that one out.
Yours looks to be a combination fatman/unlocking anti-theft wheel. They are somewhat more rare. I have and have had several fatman wheels over the years (including the Bauer currently on my coupe), but never had a combination one like that. I have seen several, but cannot tell you who made them.
Nice steering wheel! (Despite the missing name tag) I hope you can give it a good home.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

I have an Onaway wheel that is identical to the green one in the photos. The casting many have been used on several different models.

I should also mention that a locksmith was able to cut a key for me using the numbers on the Yale cylinder.
Thanks for all your help guys.
