[C320-list] Lewmar Folding Wheel

[bruceheyman]

 Hi Artur,Thanks!  A picture of both sides of the hub would be awesome.   On the one that I received the existing key is so large that it would penetrate the diameter of the provided parallel hub insert.   There can be so much force on the helm that I would not trust it without the key in place.Thank you,BruceSomerset, San Pedro, CA., #671

 Hi Bruce, i have the same wheel installed on my sailboat by the previous owner, so, I’m not sure about the installation details, but I could take some pics tomorrow if it helps. Let me know.
