The TR8 steering wheel is held onto the "bucket" by many small nuts and bolts. After removing the steering wheel, I unscrewing the large main nut, I used a wheel puller to remove the bucket from the steering shaft.

What do you call it?

I think the "bucket" may be the "hub", I think.

The thing that holds the steering wheel to the steering shaft with a gazillion little screws and nuts that has "Made in France" stamped on it.

Ahhh ... the (adaptor) boss.

Shouldn't be a problem when it is fitted upside down as there are two notches in the switch opposite each other

There and odd number of holes to hold on the steering wheel. if you have it up side down, you will not get the wheel straight / level going down the road, or turn signal return will not catch in the middle to turn off the blinkers. Trust me on this.
