steering wheels

[Ash]

We want to replace our small old wooden steering wheel with a larger one approx 22 inches diam and stainless steel leather bound. But where do we get one from?
Any ideas.

try Vetus or Whitlock. i recommend a suede covering for both hot and cold climates.

i don't believe in big steering wheels, they get in the way. ok if your steering is too high geared but otherwise i reckon it's to make up for inadequacies in other departments ;-) (ok, 22 inches is tiny by those standards).

Vetus do not make nice wheels IMHO, they insist on using plastic moldings on them. We bought a nice 19" wheel from

French Marine Motors Ltd

You could try Edson, very good quality but not cheap...

My one came from a scrapped 2CV and it must be about 22" diameter. Funnily enough it works as well in the boat as it did on the car.
The wheel lives inside, so rust isn't a problem. If yours will live indoors too, then don't discount one from a wrecked car - some can be really posh. If you live in the right [or is it wrong?] sort of area, then maybe there'll be loads lying about in a semi-burnt condition, all for free!

Re: 2 tone hooters.

The hooters are the first things to be stripped from joy-rider's cars in my area. Along with the fluffy dice.
