Sunday, February 13, 2022 -- LB Car SM -- Part 6 -- AIM Steering Wheel




Suede leather wrapped race steering wheel.


Rear view


The metal (aluminum?) portion is a bit dirty...

Cleaning process...

Came out pretty good


Not familiar with this company/brand.  Looked it up and they sell this type of steering wheel now.
The one I have must be very old...

After cleaning the suede leather, using a suede brush.


 

Monday, February 21, 2022 -- President's day holiday -- Cool (high 50s) and very windy but at least it's sunny


Flag is flying stiff.

Had a mid-day meeting (worked through lunch) so bike ride was late.


 

Sunday, February 20, 2022 -- LB Antique SM -- Part 3 -- No idea what this is...

Big shaft on a very heavy duty ball bearing.
The shaft is tapered (there's cuts on four sides, allowing the top to be smaller than the base.
If a close fitting shaft was to be slid through the center, the tapered outer would tend to have some interference/clamping force on the inner shaft...

Hollow tube

May be able to be adapted to be a base for something that can rotate (like a small table or stool, or?)

Some rust on the bearing


Hard to make out.
I think it says FLTI

The shaft goes through the bearing and is fixed in place somehow.
The four notches are obviously for something to mate to.

A bit hard to make out so used a wire brush to clean it a bit first.

Better...
The last part is "-410"

Middle part is "A0C63"

First part is HCP (logo)


Four holes on the bearing.
One looks to be clogged with heavy grease.
