Wright -
Yes, the early BN1 steering wheel is somewhat unique. In addition to
the adjusting nut, the spokes are slightly tapered toward the rim and
there should be a larger gap between the 2nd and 3rd spokes.
Send the steering wheel to Pearlcraft in Australia for restoration.
Prices are high, but quality is first rate, you can google it. That
being said with the exchange rate the restoration cost is about half
of anyoune in the US. There's even a picture of Bill Emerson and his
Westland on their website!
I don't have an idea on the locking nut, just keep trying the various
AH specialists, someone should have it.
