Personal steering wheels vs Momo Trek R

[andy43]

Hi, I've got a Griffith and would like to upgrade the steering wheel a bit without going overboard - some of the Speed 6 cars had a really nice looking Personal wheel from the factory, with perforated leather sections as in this Tamora pic -

One of these Tamora wheels would look and feel great without going too high tech.
From reading on PH a lot of owners swap these out for a Momo Trek R, which means a new boss, but my question is would a Personal wheel as above be a straight swap onto my existing Griff Personal boss?

i swapped a personal on my tam to a trek r. didnt need to touch the boss it all bolted in just fine.

But can I bung a Tamora Personal wheel as in the pic straight onto my Griff?

I have a few old Personal steering wheels. You can buy one and try it out

Yes you can swap the steering wheel and its a straight swap, see photo of my Griff with the swap

No problem, it looks and feels much better than the original one

Changed the Personal wheel on my T350 for a Momo Trek R and put the Personal one on my Griff

Gary - How do you find the Trek R vs the old personal? Is there much difference in feel or is it purely looks? I'm very tempted to swap for one though in all honesty not 100% convinced by the polished spoke.

Personally and educe the pun, I prefer the Momo Trek R, feels and looks better IMHO, plus being tall the straight bit at the bottom helps me get in and out easier

Functionally I found the Trek-R much better than the Personal and I thought it looks a lot better as well.

The Sag-mk2 had a Momo-R as well.

I prefer the Trek R too.

Trek R to me just looks wrong, looks like its from halfords IMO, never really saw much wrong with the standard wheel personally but thats just me
