Thanks for the Photo Forum pics Richard. That is a good looking helm. I thought my new one was one inch but yours looks bigger. Your Edson appears to be in much nicer condition than mine. Is it new or did you paint it? I think I will spray mine. Now is the opportune time because I took the new bar and instruments home for the winter. I want to improve the mounting. Our WP30 mountings are identical. I would be afraid to change the shift lever though. After five years I don't think I could adapt to 'up is forward, down is reverse'. Thanks again.
