I'm looking for a WWII/Shakespeare style throttle quadrant for my Hatz Classic and for the longest time I had been planning on buying a pair from Steen. Then I went to their site yesterday and they weren't listed!?! I emailed Dave and his response was "Sorry, but we are not able to offer the throttle quadrants at this point in time.". I emailed him to find out when they might be offering them again, but have not received a response.
