Steering Question

[VetChugger 910]

I suspect this is as daft a question as has been asked! What is the small "locking" disc used on some steering wheels called?? I was always under the possibly mistaken impression that it was a kegworth key! Am I barking??

if its half round it is a woodruff key

if its half round it is a woodruff key

Not even half round in my experience, more like a third and with flat edges / sides

Ahhh, thanks Gents, no idea where kegworth came from! I'm claiming old age!

Phew! Googled 'kegworth key' and nothing so was watching with interest.

What's a kegworth? Less than a full barrel's worth.

And very close to where a plane crashed on the motorway many years ago if memory serves me rightly.
