Steering wheel

[Sandgrounder]

Anyone got an original black leather steering wheel for sale. I'm getting bit fed up with my varnished wood. Thanks

[Sandgrounder]

Thanks for the replies Chaps, thought I would check the forum before resorting to ebay!

Adrian@, I thought there was a standard black leather one that I have seen on the majority of S's.
The wooden version of wheel seems to vary a bit.

If you have a leather one for sale, a photo would be greatly appreciated? Thanks

Adrian@, you have mail!

[Sandgrounder]

Adrian@, check your emails.
On holiday at moment but can still pick up email from time to time. Thanks 😊

Ok ladies/gents, I now have (thanks to Adrian), a leather steering wheel (6 screw attachment). My next issue is: distance on new wheel hole to opposite hole is 75mm, but my wooden wheel is 100mm. Can someone please point me at a suitable hub for the replacement wheel? I'll transfer to my phone and see if I can post a photo.
Thanks

I've taken my old wheel and hub off to see what I need to install the leather replacement.
Been looking on the web but not sure exactly what I need?
My current hub is as follows




So, the hub is in two halves. The outer hub is attached to the inner hub via 3 screws/ nyloc nuts. I can't see anything on the web that looks like a replacement for the outer hub (with 6 bolt x 74mm pcd).
Can anyone offer any guidance please?
Thanks

[Sandgrounder]

Thanks for all the replies Chaps. I've looked at literally hundreds of hubs, bosses, adapters on the web this weekend until my eyes have gone sore, and seen a couple of options that might work, some with some minor fettling. Some of the advertised options look to be correct but surprisingly lack some of the key information or view of both sides which is annoying.
Shame I haven't got the tools to manufacture one myself, but in the end I will just have to pick one and if it doesn't fit, go through the inconvenience of sending it back.

Cheers all.

Finally got round to installing my new wheel. Had a bit of modification to do to the Adapter I opted for, but looks like it works!


Next question, where can I get a centre cap to fit the 60mm hole?

[Sandgrounder]

Yes, I thought about that as an option. Only problem is that they appear to be 60mm max dimension, whereas I would need the inner dimension to be 60, otherwise may just push through 🤔

[Sandgrounder]

Thanks very much! Much appreciated.
I can prise the TVR badge off the original horn push and glue it on centrally, so as long as the 'blank' fits the hole, it should work well.

[Sandgrounder]

badge is 51mm diameter!

[Sandgrounder]

PM sent. Thanks Lee

[Sandgrounder]

Package arrived Lee. I'll take a wander to the garage at the weekend and see if it fits.
Let me know your costs and I'll reimburse you.

Many thanks

[Sandgrounder]

Looks good to me.

[Sandgrounder]

This is the non recessed one. Recess probably needs to be 51mm diameter. Shoulder diameter probably needs to be 61but a layer of insulation tape will absorb the small amount of play.

Busy day yesterday, took 4 attempts of disconnecting steering to get the steering wheel perfectly centred, but while I was under there, I finally decided to do some cutting. Teeth clenched:




So now I can do this!:




No Wide Open Hinge Mod for me!

In the photo, front of clamshell is resting on a folded sponge blanket, but next step will be sorting some kind of locking stays for when I am doing maintenance.

[Sandgrounder]

Don't know, but as soon as I saw the S2 on Wheeler dealers, I knew that was the colour I wanted .

[Sandgrounder]

I assume this number makes some sense?
