Reproduction B/C steering wheel

#1 Post by Gary James »

I just received and installed a reproduction B/C stock "plastic" steering wheel from ClassicoWheels.com It is an EXCELLENT reproduction. When I set the old original side-by-side with the reproduction, I can't tell any difference. Except of course that the new one isn't all beat up from 55 years of use.

I recommend this product if you need a replacement "factory" steering wheel

How about a close-up pic of the spokes of both original and repro wheel?

I did all my research and a lot of discreet shopping and ended up with this wheel.
Left all the patina on just a light sand and paint/clear.

A little bit different then Nardi that I had ,but I really like the original look.
