Title: Steering Wheel Options
Post by: Colingo on August 02, 2022, 12:24:59

My ivory steering wheel is covered in stress cracks. I find the diameter of the wheel too big. Any comments? I know its is the original, but were there any other options when new? I'd like to stay true to history if poss.

Only change the steering wheel to a smaller diameter, if your car has power steering. The original wheel size is designed to dry park the car with an acceptable effort without power steering.
