Spider Steering Wheel?

Post by bonsaiwino »

Hi, I'm thinking of replacing the stock black steering wheel on my '79 Spider with a wooden wheel. Anyone have one available that is easy to install? If possible, please send a photo or link, & cost. Thanks very much, Don tr3adon@gmail.com

Don,

you can find many used one on ebay. Just look for one with a Momo pattern, and you'll be good. If you go with a Nardi pattern, you need to buy a spacer (that's what I currently have on my Spider), also easy to find online for ~$30.

Hope it helps.

I've this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LTB-Adapter-Kit ... f6&vxp=mtr

Differently from other models this is not too thick (less than an inch), so it doesn't screw up the ergonomics...here is how the Personal wheel looks like (sorry, bad pic..)
