What do you consider the best steering wheel for a Trad Morgan ( no PAS)?
Sticking with Moto-lita ideally but a wood rim with rivets or without rivets or a leather covered version?
Which would you choose?
Or maybe the standard factory plastic effort ( the one that looks like its escaped from a 1990s Fiesta?)

I am considering the leather one as while I like the woodrim I find it uncomfortable on long runs.

Some time ago I posted this article on the Forum: http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/190153/Steering_wheels#Post190153By the way, I'm still thinking a thicker-rimmed wooden wheel would be more comfortable...

I've had two leather ones that were great. The Roadster came with a wood rim one with rivets. I thought I wouldn't like it but in reality it is excellent now I am used to it & sets the car off very well

Either a wood and rivets moto lita or a Bluemels Wheel, on both my Plus 4 and the AH I have gone for the thick rim version, it's perfect for me but every owner has their personal choice, need to try a few but for looks alone has to be wood and rivets I think.

Had wood and rivets Motolita on the old Morgan with a thin rim. It proved to be less than comfortable on a long drive. Stuck with the standard Morgan thing on the current car. From outside the car it doesn't look great, but once inside the view down the bonnet more than compensates.

This Motolita leather one suits the Plus8 comfort and style wise for me and my grand daughter.

I think a Quartic would be your best choice, Andy..

I have a big Blumells Brooklands wheel on my '59 Plus 4, and love it.

Leather suits me (?), good grip, warm touch and greater cross section at rim.
