Default Re: info on original steering helm for 1975

If its mechanical it may be an old KeiKaffer system. Forgive my spelling. If the wheel is permanently attached to the shaft and the shaft passes thru the helm then thats what it is. Do yourself a favor and replace it with a no feed back Teleflex system or Hydraulic. You are going to have a tough time finding steering cables for that system down the road

The wheel is not permanently attached to the shaft. The shaft, slides in and out of the wheel and attaches via a bolt. The other end of the shaft goes through a 'gear-head' which is attached to the steering cable.

If $ were not an issue, I would go w/ a new steering system, but I am spending a lot !!!
