14" steering wheel
Can anyone tell me if there is a currently available 14" steering wheel (plus adapter as needed) that will work with a 1966 roadster?

Lots by Grant, take your time,as this is the most visible thing to you the driver, and they don’t wear out.
Provides lots of knee room, easier in/out of driver seat. A bit more exertion whendoing low speed parking maneuvers, but you just lean forward.
Grants use an adaptor, use the Search, 2896?, some number like that. Stay with period choices (IMHO)

Which one do you like the most, Fergus?
I think we need fat burners for belly fat like these because they work.

Re: 14" steering wheel
Good point, Search function is your friend, as is the best way to "survey the crowd", as it is a very personal decision.
You have to look at it for a long time (they don't wear out!), but also personal tastes in both look and size. By size I mean I have large hands so prefer fat baseball bats and tennis rackets, and found after long roadster drives my hands were all cramped, so I got a real FAT one with an indent for the thumb right above the spokes. Given the choice, I would have gone for something more classic and period looking, "banjo styled", but thick rimmed. Oh, and I hate the fact that my particular one cannot be dismantled to change out the Grant logo for something car correct, as I don't drive a "Grant".
(Yes, have tried several methods, and only way is to skim cut the face of the horn button and refinish it with a pre-printed logo of my choice...)

Re: 14" steering wheel
Now that just looks right, especially with chrome shift nob and metallic trim around shifter boot. Well done Howard.

Re: 14" steering wheel
Same size and sort of a variation on the Prototipo is the new California which I was debating. Only thing I don't like is it seems to have a semi polished finish rather than a satin. These are similar to the old Monza wheel from the 70s....pebbles wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 2:31 am Momo Prototipo looks nice against the flat dash.

Nice wheel! Agreed, the satin in a Datsun would blend better.justinmc89 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2019 8:41 am

Re: 14" steering wheel
Thank you all for your suggestions. Is there one adapter for roadsters that works with current Momo wheels? Any info on adapters, like part numbers will be greatly appreciated.
