Steering wheel Mounting screws
 
I have some stripped out screws in my steering wheel hub. Does anyone know what size and pitch screws mount the steering wheel for a 67 vett. I am going to install heli coils once I get the right size. Thanks Don

I don't know the size off hand. Take one to your Flaps and they can match it to the correct helicoil.

10 - 24 x 1/2" countersunk phillips head.

That's an odd pitch size. Thanks for the info.

Some one ran 10-32's into my hub, so now I don't want to re-tap to 10-24...losing to much material.

Haven't checked price or availability, but wouldn't a new hub be easier?

Dr Rebuild does have hubs but I didn't see a price listed.:rolleyes:
But his 53'-62' hubs are $130. :ack:

Offhand, I'd say you have darn little room for a Helicoil on the edge of the hub. Better bet would be to drill & tap the bad holes 1/8"-3/16" deeper if you have the room.

#10-24 tpi an odd size? Not around here.:toetap:

On my hub the flat head phillips screws were always coming loose. Solved that problem with hex socket flat screws.

It's only one screw for now so I am going to install a helicoil. I think there is plenty of meat for a coil. I will check with Ace hardware for the SS screws Thanks. Don:thumbs:
