EASY counting steering wheel splines for OLD eyes

if your eyes are like mine....it's tuff to see those little splines, much less count them accurately.

a trick for us with poor eyes.....wrap a piece of alum foil around shaft splines. rub it well, then lay the foil flat and count the splines

 

I 'm blind,
Thanks for the tip !!!!

.

 

great tip could have used that three weeks ago putting the 50 car steering wheel on my 54F100 and yes they are the same.

 

Interesting idea, I suppose you just have to mark the end point so you don't count splines for more than one revolution. Still a neat trick, spline counting can be a pain in the ass.

 

Easy for you to do, but a great idea fo geezers thanks

 

Hey great tip. Good tip for counting axel splines also.

 

Wrap the foil around the splines, then pull a craft knife along one of the spline grooves where the foil overlaps. Then you know you've only got one circumference.
