I picked up a NOS Covert steering wheel for my HJ Premier off Ebay for $75. It turned up today, perfect. It is a mid HJ or HZ wheel (not the HQ style like is original for a 1974 HJ) but better than mine with a crack. I'll put it on and heep the other aside, maybe repair one day. Fixing up a non-GTS, Sandman, SLR etc is great! NOS bits are so cheap for much of it.
I bet! And still just as nice as a fully restored GTS etc.
75 smacker would have been top dollar for the wheel too. they come up a bit on ebay. In odd colours they do anyway!

i think the steering wheel change from hard to soft was around 8/1975???

Could be right. I know it changed during HJ.
My old 5-75 Hj Van had a hard steering wheel so the change was after that.....
