M51A2 vs. Big gut

[drgreg]

What size is an M35 steering wheel and will it fit on my column? Mine is 20" O.D.

The M35 steering wheel is 20" O.D., the other wheel that I bought this weekend is 18" O.D. I think it may be an 800 series wheel. It is only 1" xtra belly room, but 1 little inch may mean miles of comfort.

I got one of those wheels from Rodney at Iola (I assume you got one of the others he had). The one I got matches up perfectly w/ my 818 wheel.

No, mine came from a guy in about the center of the swap meet, it was new in the box. I wanted to compare it to the wheel on my M813, but I moved it to my shop on Monday. Since yours matches up, I can assume the one I got is 800 series also.

You could get one of these in 10" or 11" diameter.

It could be a small deuce wheel, not sure. I know my 809 wheel is built a little bit squarer than the deuce ones, specifically the spokes, but I have never seen a small deuce wheel before.

I was looking for something a bit more military. I made a soap box derby car when I was 10 it had this type of steering wheel on it, found the wheel in the trash dump. What is a 6tl adapter tray and where can I get locking door handles?

You could paint it OD and nobody would be the wiser.
The 6TL adapter trays allow you easily to install Optima 6TL batteries in the battery box. You can get them from ODIron at the link below:

You can get the locking door handles < $10..0 each from the following site:

I have new military batteries so there is no need for me to buy the adapter tray but I did buy and install a plastic battery box---nice mod. I couldn't find the lockable handles at the trailer website so I am contacting a sales rep. Would the door handles fit on my M51A2? Soon I will be installing my spin-on oil filters but have not yet bought the spin-on fuel filter. Thanks for your help!!!
