Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) Plus Six steering wheel

I am sure this will be a recurring subject on the forums, as the Plus Six and Plus Four CXs have such garish steering wheels that look like an afterthought to me.
I have a Plus Six launch edition that the Morgan supplied wheel really doesn't suit. There are some aftermarket options, but a new Plus Six boss, wheel and horn push from Moto Lita will set you back the best part of £1000 plus fitting. As far as I know, the price would be the same for a Plus Four CX.
Is it just me or is that a silly price for a steering wheel and boss? The boss alone is over £600 with the VAT!
I am considering using a Momo quick release boss and steering wheel but I am not sure if they do a boss for the Plus Six. Anyone know what steering column Morgan use in the Plus Six/Four, or details of diameter and spline count?
I am interested in what other CX owners think about this issue and what solutions they might consider?
The original wheel functions well and is comfortable in use, it just doesn't suit the car, in the same way the BMW gear selector doesn't blend well with the interior styling. However,I understand why the selector is used and it is not the first thing you see, the steering wheel is, and Morgan were not compelled to use this ugly wheel, they chose to.
Any thoughts?

i painted the wheel in the same color as my car

Librands Boss for Plus Four and Six is £290 +VAT. Librands

Yes I saw the Librands boss and it certainly makes more sense £wise.
But I have a hankering for a QR boss if I am going to go through all the trouble and expense, but I can't find any details of the steering column used in the Plus Six and Plus Four. There are probably bosses available for other cars that will fit, it is just finding them...
When I know more I will post again as surely others will be interested? Or it may just be me being overly fussy.

I agree the steering wheel does not suit the car, but it does have a good feel and I do like the flat bottom, Thierry242 has a good idea paint it to match the body colour.

I saw a Plus Six with the wheel painted the same colour as the car and am now in the process of getting mine done as I think it looks much better. I also like to feel of the wheel and flat bottom. I put a Moto Lita wheel on my Plus 4 and a Brooklands one on my Roadster but £1K for the Plus Four is just ridiculous.

I can appreciate where you are regarding the appearance of the BMW steering wheel
HOWEVER
I had the wooden Mota-Lita steering wheel on our 2010 4/4. Had loads of complimentary comments, but on a long trip it was not comfortable especially if you let your thumbs sit on the spokes. Friends with Plus Sixes have fitted the beautiful Morgan Park wooden steering wheels but they are expensive!
Personally I find the BMW wheel very comfortable and well-balanced for the car. I would recommend that you do a couple of long trips before making a change. Driving comfort may come ahead of looks!

Is the steering wheel easy to get off? I assume the large rubber grommet and horn push just pull off?

It is fixed by 2 screws on the back and 2 on the side. Not easy to remove if the screwdriver is long.
The wheel has to be pull back at the maximum to have better acces.
