Plug and play replacement steering wheels?

Post by Jdurban94550 »

I'm a new owner of a 1970 1600. I really want to replace the steering wheel with something more modern and bit smaller. Is there a Momo, Nardi, or other black, three spoke, 14 inch, less than $200 replacement steering wheel I can purchase without needing and/or modifying an adapter? Thanks for your input.

Hello & welcome.

Might want to have a read of this article in our Teck Wiki.

I’ve used both Grant & Momos (with adapters) in the past … They worked fine.

Thanks. I had read through that page, but all the suggestions required a hard to find adaptor or significant modifications. I was hoping for a more plug and play option.

I don’t know of any that are straight ‘plug & play’, but the adapters can still be found with a bit of voodoo.

Some of our vendors even sell different aftermarket steering wheels WITH the correct adapter (see below).

You can always find options … 🙂

Huh … Must have been deleted recently.

Anyway, these threads should help in coming up with options for you to consider …
