Classic Steering wheel

[cbrown1469]

Hi all,

Just wondered if you could advise on the standard steering wheel size of a 1980 spider, the after market requirements for a boss etc and if you could recommend any really classic wooden brands?

Also, seen some real nice MOMOs style MBG ones. Will they fit if I get the right boss for the Spider.

Thanks again, feel like I'm being a pest but I really am enjoying the group , Spider ownership and the camaraderie.

the stock hub on your car will accept a MOMO wheel, it's a direct bolt on

the vintage wood steering wheel also fits the 1980 and looks great

here is my 1980

yes it looks good but that wheel is plastic rather than vintage wood

[grittracing]

you are correct but I still love the look and thought i would give him another option in case he may be on a budget

It sure looks like wood. Had me fooled for years.

Will a 1978 steering wheel fit on a 81 model?

should

I have a 74 Spider wood (plastic) steering wheel that I was thinking of adding to my 81. From what I've read so far it should fit, correct?

Hmm. Are the ones that look wood and sell for over 300$ actually plastic? I like the look, but I'm unsure, and the stock black with rubbery wrapping looks good too i think but mine the rubbery part is loose and moves around on the wheel.

Where is the speed imit 95?

I like that dash and bezels quite a bit.

No, they are wood. The slightly smaller diameter of the modern wheel gives you a little more knee room, but it also results in higher steering effort. Something to consider if you have very wide tires.
