1968 GTO-fastening of trim spokes in steering wheel
 
I have a 1968 GTO with the standard steering wheel and 2 of the 3 spokes have popped out of the wheel. How are the spokes of the trim fastened to the steering wheel?
Thank you

The spokes that go near the center of the wheel screw into the hub. The part near the rim has screws that go in from behind the plastic stationary part of the spoke into the removable spokes. Maybe this picture will help show you where the mounting points are on the spokes.

would you know what size the screws are that go into the spokes thanks

Sorry, can't help you there. My car is presently at the paint shop. If only 2 of your spokes are loose just take the screw out of the third spoke to see what size it is.

The screw is missing from the 3rd spoke also

According to the restoration guide it is 8-32 x 11/16.
