Confirm maker of this steering wheel.

#1 Post by Steve Raucher »

Hi all,
Is this a "Derringer" steering wheel? If not who makes it and what is correct for? Possible value please?
Also on the late T2 Speedsters regarding the front turn signals my car has the wide wedge style numbered chrome bases and long light covers, not the narrow or flatter ones.
People tell me they are not correct for a '58 model is this true? Car was finished 5/2/58 vin 84832.
Thanks you,
Steve

I think you might mean Derrington, rather than Derringer.

That wheel looks a bit like the Moto-Lita Mark IV leather rim steering wheel pictured at http://www.scparts.co.uk/sc_en/advertis ... 44283.html

I think the Derrington name's now used by Moto-Lita for at least some steering wheels. The Mk 4 wheel at the Moto-Lita website has several round holes in its spokes instead of the tapered slots at scparts.co.uk
