Wooden Steering wheel for S3

[magnus]

Looking for one of these--seem like hen's teeth--anybody know of a quality "aftermarket" job that would fit and enhance?

[Cotty]

It all depends what you are looking for and budget but you could have a look in the back of the classic mags as they usually run adverts for this sort of thing.

This wheel was fitted to my old S2, looks great but a little thin for spirited driving?? Adyw has it now and is coming to the S meet on the 15th so you could see it on a car there if you want, I am sure, you never know he may be looking to change it?

Perhaps looks a bit "period" in styling for the relative modernity of the S. I think this is because (as Mike said), it's a bit on the thin side, just IMHO.

You don't want one of them, you want one of these, that's what you want:

[oatz]

yes please! where from??!

[victormeldrew]

Moto lita again It looks different in the enlarged picture (as I posted above) to the thumbnail on this page. Click on the image on this page and the big pic I posted above appears.

Here's the smaller pic for comparison:

This looks like a different wheel to me.

The big pic is nice and chunky, I want one!

If its of any interest or help I can source the Momo wheel shown
(it does however have the words MoMo Marine on the lower spoke), but it is a top notch wheel.



Spoken to Momo and no problem obtaining the wheel retail price is currently £85.00 + VAT
If any one is keen just send me an e mail
oh delivery is around 7 working days.

Gandalf..

Have recently purchased a 3000M .
Intrested in the style of wheel you have shown in your recent pic.
Can you tell me what size it is 14/15" , and is their a suitable gear knob as well to suit ?
Aye yours

Dram..

[Podie]

I got one..

[Gandalf]

The wheel is 13.75" diameter dram

I too have been searching for matching gearknob closest I have found so far is machined alloy with burr inlay, again from Momo but that one of Podie`s looks more like what I had in mind -
where can I find one the same?

I'll be at the S meet on Sunday, if you want to have a look….It has "personal" stamped on one of the spokes if that helps.

Wheel was a factory fitted option (along with the gear knob)… came to £130 in 1991…!

Looks nice, not had any problems with slippage, but does make a crisp packet feel like a six inch pothole

How do you get the logo in the centre to stay still when you turn the wheel??

[Gandalf]

This is easily acheived by fitting the
TVR Self Centred Steering System Rare Earth Magnet Kit
available from the TVRCC site shop just go to accessories and click on Magic Magnets they are available for all models fitted with a steering wheel and are priced at 4,500,000 Roubles per pair! well worth every penny in my opinion - the hours of fun you can have at regional meets is worth it alone.






Oh alright Jodrel Bank I pushed the horn push back in at the wrong angle!

If its any consolation it took 30 seconds to correct & miraculously the horn still works

[mrmaggit]

That's a nice looking wheel. Do they do any other designs, and are you going to descend on the "S" club on sunday, too?

[Gandalf]

Hi Maggit I would love to pop along to the S meet but I am already committed (or should be )
to the Hill Climb meet at Shelsley Walsh with the 3 Counties TVRCC
