Good morning Group, has anyone come up with a good Quick release hub for
the steering wheel on the TR 2-3 "s ?
  My problem is , if I weld the hub to the end of the shaft then I can no
longer remove the shaft for repairs on the Steering gear.  Just wondering
if this is even possible because the older and larger I get the degree of
difficulty getting in and out goes up.  It would be nice to be able to
remove the steering wheel .
