Steering Question

[VetChugger]

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.

The big nut behind the wheel is called the DRIVER.

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.
