BN4 1959 late-production 100-6 with overdrive.

First off, it now runs or the first time since I started the FULL restoration about 8 years ago! Wow, what sound. Unfortunately, the steering wheel had been replaced with (I don't know what it came from) and controls are missing/broken or rubbish. Like most of this project, I am trying to figure what I need. Best I can tell, it should be a non-adjustable. I checked eBay and MOSS, but not really certain what I need. Can anyone help?

Moss shows a control unit, but it is over $1,000 (and I would still need the wheel). Also, if I don't get it right, I could be out a lot of money. And yes, I have spent a lot so far. I tried to attach an pic, hopefully, it worked?

Thanks for any help.

Doug

How about a close up of the end of the column where it exits the dash? What is in the column as far as a stator tube - needed to seal the lower end of the steering box? Photo of the bottom end as well, please.
 
Why not ask Bruce @ Healey surgeons in MD if he has a complete wheel for your car?
 
thank you for the replies! I contacted Healey Surgeons (Bruce had rebuilt my trans). they do not have a used unit but sent me some information and diagrams. I am attaching a few past pics that may help. I first need to know if I have an adjustable or non-adjustable setup. most everything was gone so any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Doug

Doug,
The Moss catalog can explain many of the questions you'll have. Online version at link below.

The adjustable column has splines all the way to the end with a small groove around the peripery for the circlip that holds the steering wheel in place.
The non-adjustable has threads and a nut at the very end.
