Which steering wheel?

[csx4017]

The wheel that was installed by Shelby on my CSX4000 series Cobra appears to be an exact reproduction of the 3000 cars. The kick/ bend points are so close to the center that the Cobra emblem outer diameter actually overlaps them. The center emblem is raised enough so that it does not contact the bends......OD measures 15 inches and all slot lengths are 3 3/16 inches from outer radius to outer radius......The clear coat is starting to chip on mine.....Must lighten up on the grip !!

Mine too. Enough that it bothers me (although no one else would probably notice). What's the best way to repair it?

EDIT: Not trying to threadjack if this is worthy of it's own thread, I can start one, but not sure it is.

I don't think for a minute #3170, that the photo of your oringinal wheel is not just that, knowing of you and your car, but I was bothered by the 3 example photos from the begining.

It has been some years since I've owned 3183, and with 2 bouts of cancer with the chemo and radiation, the old memory is sometimes spotty. But observing the photos on the "Coupe" forum, reference the Lesher Daytona Coupe, there in the thread are photos of an oringinal Coupe.

The steering wheel that is on that coupe, is what I remember my original wheel to be, solid at the hub, not cut into the spokes.
