Stupid question: What is this called? A helm cover? Helm cowling? Also any reputable resources for rechroming would be appreciated. Part in question Thanks, Denny Edited by Jeff on 09/25/07 - 10:29 AM

I can't find the correct one you are showing in the photo on Teleflex's website. Here is the Big-T helm and bezel which is can be setup for either 90º or 20º angle. http://www.downloadingfiles.co.uk/tel...S-7413.PDF

I still have the pulley system in place but would like to upgrade to something like a teleflex system. I have a message into teleflex about the Big T and will let you know what I find out. Denny

I only used the Big-T for reference.... I am very familiar with the Big-T helm as it was original to my 1978 Montauk which I owned for 15 years.
