wood rim steering wheel for 403

ronp · #1 (**permalink**) 02-12-12, 10:07 PM

I have grown to like the feel of wood-rim steering wheels and I would like to evaluate one on my 403. I suspect that appropriate splined hubs will not be currently availble, so does anyone know what else would fit? I have the facilty to machine up a suitable donor hub so as to accept a standard 4" bore wheel. I do not want to modify the original wheel hub as I realise wooden rims are not to everyones taste- I want any future owner to be able to revert.

I've got a spare wheel with a badly corroded rim you could have.

Hi Ronp

It looks as if your problem has been solved, however if this turns out not to be the case, I have traced another spare wheel which one of our members has, should you need it.
