steering Wheel bolt pattern
Good morning all,
I need a new steering wheel . What came with the car is a 16" wood rimmed with the independent spokes which causes the hub to have a non symetrical bolt pattern. It has a 6 bolt pattern with a spacing of 2.5" across the center. The closest I have been able to find so far has a spacing of 2.75. Also the holes (2) at the top have a different spacing than the holes down either side. A hub that matches the new wheel would solve the problem, but so far have not seen one for the wheels I've looked at have not shown or mentioned a matching hub,but it would also have to match the wheel shaft. Anyone run into this problem before ? Ted |
Have you checked the Moto Lita website? https://www.moto-lita.co.uk/steering...-split-centre/

mongoose; I don't want to replace it with another moto lita ($450 + shipping )
I'm looking for around $200 that might have the same bolt pattern as the orig wheel or an adapter to fit the shaft. If an adapter + wheel get close to 400, then it would make sense to go with moto-lita. |
These folks have a Moto-lita in your bolt pattern for $275. 15" OD though.

SPD: thanks for the link, 15" will work just fine.

What would prevent someone from cutting a one piece Mota-lita wheel to resemble the split steering wheel?

Blas; I might give that a try. Depends on what I end up with. Waiting for David Kirkham to get back to me.

I am not sure cutting up a high dollar wheel is the short way home. Here are the PCD metrics for the MotoLita 6 fastener Cobra steering wheels. Except for the bolt hole thread specifications all other dimensions are in millimeters.

I have a box full of Cobra steering wheel adapters if you mess one up. You can have one or two for the shipping.

thanks for the help, guys. I've got one on order, we'll see if it fits when it gets here.

I don't know if these would help but I have at least 4 of them

I was hoping you had the solid cast or possibly billet versions, readmt. If you did, I was going to attempt to take you up on your offer. I will leave these more modern versions for other needy enthusiasts. :)

I have a spare SPF hub and adapter. If you would like to borrow it. Contact me directly. I have photos available.

I'll dig through the boxes-o-crap I have. I bought all the odd "stuff' from the original Finish Line when Jackie was cleaning out the back rooms.
