Steering wheel identification

#1 Post by ScottBerry »

Hoping members can help identify this steering wheel. No identifying marks that I can find.

Well, It looks nicely made, possibly Italian or American, but I would venture to say it is one of those myriad number of no-name wood wheels that have been produced over the years, It's not a Nardi, VDM, Les Leston, Moto-Lita, Momo, Derrington, or...Looks a bit like it came off a Mustang or Corvair, etc, from the 1960's...

Do the center holes match any Porsche hub like from a B or C?

I’m not sure about fitment but looks like previous owner mane tried to adapt based on additional holes drilled.
