Just got a Momo "personal" wooden steering wheel for my wedge ( 1991 400se). It came off another wedge of similar vintage.
Both the new and old wheel are 6 bolt fixings but the new one doesn't fit cos the actual bolt holes are in a different orientation, and I cant just realign the original boss to suit cos the hole centres appear to be different too!
Anybody know if there was "converter plate" ever available or do I have to make it myself!?

I had the same problem as the 'personal' wheel from TVR has a ever so slightly different pcd to teh Momo wheels. I made an adaptor plate as I've access to a machine shop but it may be easier to try and get a momo steering hub for the car which tend to be about 30 squid.

Hi Matt
Did you do some tech drawings for the machine shop to work from?

Sorry no
I did the job myself using both bits as templates, wasn't that difficult tho'. If your're around Northampton feel free to pop over and have a look.
