I do wonder if it's now been 'dressed up' judging by the Ebay photos?

Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
Yes it's 320mm but the vendor had no idea what he was selling. If it had been a 350 or a 360 he would most likely have asked the same price.

Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
I found this lovely old MOMO Monza a while back. 370mm... pretty rare size.

Let me tell you a little about Andy B. (Lightweight_911). You probably already know this but he's such a humble guy. Always willing to offer a helping hand—he has encyclopedic knowledge of many subjects and is largely responsible for my interest in MOMO steering wheels. Though we've never met in person... he's a great guy. Thanks Andy!! I hope I get to shake your hand one day.

Thanks for those kind words Mark...
It's a shame we didn't get to meet up at Rennsport Reunion when I was over a few years ago.

Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
I recently came across this wheel after it was highlighted by a fellow DDK'er.....
.....period solid Personal steering wheel measuring at 365mm, I didn't realise it was a solid type until it arrived but a great looking wheel in the perfect size all the same. No date stamp so suspect it's ealier than my similar looking 1970 Personal wheel....



....anyone seen a hub like this before?.......it has a screw on collar and fits the spline of a 911....going by the horn push that came with it I suspect it might have once been fitted to a 356?...


....the horn push is a really nice funky period item and was part of the attraction.....never seen one of these before, again any information would be appreciated?...


Cheers,

Re: For the love of Steering Wheels.....
Here's the new wheel, it's taken a while but worth it in the end! I'll update my 993 thread with how it was done.
