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

Has anyone replaced the steering wheel for something a little more retro and in keeping?

Photos appreciated!

This car is at BB in Exminster for sale but Henry put the wheel on at Williams who was the supplying dealer.
No airbag but the aesthetic is right.

That'll be an interesting one to declare to the insurer...any mods Sir ?...er, yep I've disabled the drivers airbag

(yes, I know it's only the later CX's)

Yes a tricky one and though I have been more than happy bowling along at pace in my three Morgan's, I don't honestly think I would remove an airbag from one..

I did choose for a leather rimmed MotoLita in the PlusFour!

I’d upload a photo of the wheel that’s currently on the car I’m buying but it says it’s too big to attach as over 1000bytes. Quite frustrating posting on this forum as often I’ll write a post and it loses it and I haven’t manage to upload a photo yet!

I like that wooden steering wheel. I really enjoyed the test drive today but I did feel that I was sat ‘on’ the seat feather than ‘in’ it - plus being 6’1” I found the steering wheel a bit too low and cramped so wonder if a retro one would give me a better feeling of space.

Oh...... and here's my steering wheel - Was fitted when I purchased it - 2019 Morgan Plus 4 (110 Centenary edition)

Note that early models of the CX did not have the best of seats, lots of people moaned about them and they were upgraded in later models. (cannot recall exactly when) I seem to recall that it was not possible to retro fit the newer seats to the early models. So before you buy, make absolutely sure you are comfortable. A new steering wheel may well look better but I very much doubt it will make you feel more comfortable in the seat. Why not try sitting in a later model first, before you buy?

Yes the early seats I found very bad. The MY22 car I am buying has comfort plus seats which are much better.
Hawki had an early car & Allon Whites upgraded the padding so that is possible.
