Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
Can I talk hub for a second? I recently acquired these two and don't know exactly what they are. The first looks like a standard Momo hub with 5901 inscribed on the outer case. The second is a solid-typer hub with no obvious markings. Any ideas would be much appreciated - are there measurements I should check? Many thanks, Robert

Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
Robert - the '5901' hub is for Luisi wheels & will fit 356B/C & 911/912 models up to 7/'74.
What is the mounting bolt pcd for the other hub ?

Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
Hi Andy, many thanks for that - I'm not familiar with Luisi wheels and hubs. On the solid hub, the mounting bolt PCD is correct for a Momo wheel as is the centre diameter. The uncertainty is more about the other end - I'll offer it up to a 911 steering column and see what gives! Many thanks again, Robert

Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
The other hub looks like a 914 hub (if it's Porsche) but should have a number stamped on the outside (often quite faint).

Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
To come back on the 5901 hub, it turns out that it's drilled for a number of different bolt formats including Momo - here it is with a stacked and dished Prototipo. I guess this might be a cheaper alternative to a solid 230 hub? I'm still figuring out exactly what the solid hub I pictured above is. Many thanks, Robert

Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
here's another from me: a momo Le Mans. 350mm I am itching to pair it up with a momo 230. Supposedly from c.67 so correct sort of age for my 67s.

Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
Lovely looking wheel, I am hoping find something similar all be it 370 or 380mm in size for my 67S
Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
How were the original leather steering wheels made? The thin ones, not the "fat grip"/RSR ones.
I had a 380mm 914 hard rubber wheel in my last 911 and really liked it. However for my 68 I would like a leather 380mm wheel. But it has to be thin. And hard. To me vintage cars have thin wheels with really marked finger cut-outs on the back.
Was there such a thing as a 914 leather wheel? Was it built around a hard rubber wheel or around a hard plastic wheel? I'm thinking one could single-wrap a black plastic 914 wheel to get what I want. (And them leave it in the sun to patinate properly )

Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
There were essentially 7 different 380mm wheels - 3 of which were ('thin') leather-rimmed wheels.
2 of them - '805.10' & '806.10' will fit directly onto an early 911 whilst the other, later one ('805.11) needs minor modifications to enable it to be fitted to an early 911.
You could get Jonathan (Parr) to wrap your existing wheel in a single layer of leather - it won't give you exactly the same feel as an original leather wheel but may give you what you're aiming for.
