Original Steering Wheel Diameter

Post by **iambiggles** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 10:43 am

Can anyone tell me what diameter the original Steering wheel on a '54 splitscreen would have been?

I've got a small diameter one on there at the mo (bought with it) and its a right Bug**r to turn at slow speeds. I want to put a Moto-Lita one in a larger diameter on.

Cheers

Grant

I'd try either a 15" or 15,1/2" diameter steering wheel. I know someone selling a wooden Motolita wheel and we have a 15" leather covered one available. PM me for details.

Ahh but it simply HAS to be a specific one....... women eh???? (out of interest - do you know which one it is your pal is selling?)

LOL

Actually I don't think Clare can really have the one she wants as she likes the 4 spoke one, but the top spoke will obscure the dash too much (in my hunble opinion....)
