Re: Rear wheels turn different RPM
OR......... You could watch the movie "My Cousin Vinny" which explains it all. Those of you that have seen the movie know what I'm talking about.

Re: Want to change steering wheel of my 1931
Yeah, I don't know the dimensions of the taper on the Model A steering column, either. I was just going by the years that it said it would fit. And the picture showed a slot for the "woodruff key".

Re: 29 A turns over won't start

If you put 3 different brackets on and all had the same result, I would suspect an installation problem or a "type" of bracket problem and wouldn't start bending anything yet.
