That is the old wheel, just the oil filter tag that comes with the original oil filters :D

I may have found a good condition steering wheel, i just need to verify the spline count on my wheel. ( 36 spline )

Need to do that today :D
 
.......just curious.....are you setting it back to what it was before you started all this work?
 
Hey Destin, lookin good. Ya the power drill works great but you already found that out. I had a friend that added miles to a used motorcycle in order for it to be registered here in CA. We have some really screwed up laws in this state. He just set the drill and went about his business came back later and it was all done.

Ahhh

the actuator itself?

Mine seems to be in good nick,
I could replace it or plate it, but it seems to have a plating already no?
hate to replace something that works and looks great.
Any advantages?

btw your rig looks top notch :D
