    I don't know what has caused this it but at one stage with painting my Frogeye I got similar colour weeping and a sort of fine river - like fissuring of the paint surface. River like in that it looked like a satellite image of an extensive river delta.
    But maybe interesting that it was in a similar area of the inner wing - it's where one might expect back - blast fuel contamination from the car...

    Whilst I'd agree with previous posts about avoiding thinners for cleaning panels unless its fully cured 2k paint or powder, I'd stick to panel wipe. The pattern of poor coverage looks to be caused by contamination so would agree with the paint supplier to sand back, a pain but unfortunately looks to be required.

    Remember Watergate? Named after a building complex, where the Democrats were subject to breakins, it killed the Nixon Presidency.

    Since then we've had all manner of 'gate' scandals.

    Boris was sunk by partygate. A trivial affair involving a cake. 🤣.

    Well now we have a giant 'gate', engulfing Suckeer and Mandleson. It's a whirpool sucking them down the plug hole.

    It's ...

    General Election this year or next?

  • David Billington06 February 2026

    Technically the fitment is a serration not a spline as the flanks are straight and all the ones I've examined , apart from one of my Lancias which had a spline, had a 90 degree included angle so the broach is easy to machine using the corner of a milling cutter. He could probably have cut the serration in his Myford using a headstock spindle dividing attachment and single point cutter like a shape...

  • David Billington06 February 2026

    My neighbour had this sort of problem when he bought a reproduction Bluemels wire spoke steering wheel for his Morgan and IIRC hubs weren't made for that fitment or the design didn't suit the car so he made one himself. He has all the machining equipment required to do it, he consulted me regarding the serration as I've done that sort of thing before and the machinist we used to know that could ha...

    šŸ‘. You could well be right Willy, in this crazy world we live in.

  • William Revit06 February 2026

    He'll be ok - he said he was sorry - lol

  • richard b06 February 2026

    Have you tried calling them as they say they can make special bosses to order.
    Other possible manufacturers are Momo or Nardi.

    I have a ā€˜basic collapsible column’ on my RWA with a Motolita boss and wheel.
