Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Morgan Park steering wheel

I find these German wooden steering wheels very attractive. They have a thicker rim for better grip. Rather pricey though. Are they as excellent as they look ?

Thank you for any reply

Other reviews on here suggest so.....

Yes! The look very good (I had a look at this fine parts in their shop!) Ok: As is written: More expensive than "Moto Lita"

And. No rivets! If there is a scratch the steering wheel is "easy" to repair!

My easy-up hod is prone to crashing over and scratching the Mota-Lita unless 'er indoors is hanging on to it really tightly.

Is this something new in the building trade.

very good!

hehe

I had one fitted to my 4/4 when I bought the car. They look great and as you say are thicker than other wooden wheels. I like the grip and feel over the the thinner styles.yes a bit pricey but I believe worth it for a car that will last a long time.

BTW which size is the bolt pattern of the standard ugly Morgan steering wheel? Is it by chance 70mm? I would appreciate any info.

When you say 70mm.....do you mean the measurement from the mounting holes to the centre of the wheel? If so, the measurement is 50mm. There are six mounting holes.


PS. The photo is of the centre of the Brooklands steering wheel which uses the same Mountney hub of the factory wheel.....in case you wondered about the photo. I'm looking at modifying a Motolita boss to take the wheel....which would be a big improvement!
