Thread: steering wheels

Tweet

I don't think a vintage type steering wheel would go very well with that style of street rod. I would go a more modern version and it doesn't have to be billet like a modern version of a banjo wheel.

I have a 46-48 wheel in my 60's style 34 Coupe.

Not very good pictures, but this is the 40 Ford style wheel in my Sons RPU. It is a 15 inch repop that came in black and we painted it white to match the other stuff on the car.

Take a look here at the LeCarra Mark X. At least you can easily buy adapters and accessories rather then try to find something that kinda fits.

I have a LeCarra Mark 9 with leather wrap, but since my car has a lot of billet.....

The world is full of choices. One old standby is the Wheel Shoppe banjo pictured below.

One I haven't used, but looks intrigueing is an outfit called Con2r: http://www.con2r.com/steering-wheels/ use the "design" links on this page and see all the ways you can personalize what they offer. Interesting concept.

Bob, is that really a PINK wheel cover? If it's yours, I hope Pops doesn't see it after all the trouble he was given over his "pink" frame.

Purple!!! It's Purple.........................

Yeah, that's my old car, but I sold it without upholstery. My guess is that's the effect of the flash. In person it looked the same color as the rest of the interior.

Oh sure, Bob, we believe you! After all, you were so understanding when my pictures looked like they might be pink, why wouldn't I extend the same courtesy to you????????????

Looks like the guys caught you, didn't they??

X2 on the banjo wheel.

Grant has come out with a new line of wheels,might check out their web page. Wheels are a personal thing, what works for one person won't work for another.

My feelings,too,,although,I do like a banjo wheel,just not the same color as Uncle Bobs...

As much as I like the 'banjo' wheels, if you were to line 10 rods up in a row, I would bet there would be 3 (or more) that had some iteration of one. That's when, to me, it becomes a follow me kind of thing and rods are supposed to be an individual statement. I'm not crazy about mine, but the leather wrap does match the interior and LeCarra wheels are only on one or 2 of that lineup.
