Hey gang. Back with more questions (did I mention how much I LOVE THIS CAR!). Anyway, I was wondering about upgrading my OEM steering wheel on my '88 Cab with an OEM wheel from a different model. Looking for a little more substance in my hands (sounds like a back of magazine Ad) while driving over the OEM wheel. What works? And what are some good sources for the replacement? Thanks.

 

On my 81SC and 93 C2, I like the Momo Corse wheel.

Steve that wheel is just beautiful... I wonder if it would look as nice in an early car? ...like my '72T?

 

Doug-
Can't speak to how it would look, but I don't think it will FIT. There's a thread on steering wheel compatibility between models/years and I think the 930S wheel will only work for 1974+.

don't know for sure though...

wow, thanx for saying that pwd.. was looking for another steering wheel myself. my classic original wood steering wheel looks great, but sucks for comfort when im really driving. im gonna have to check those out! (i cant completely part with the wood one.. looks so damn good on the 68!)

 

Steve that wheel is gorgeous. Thank you

 

Wow, that's a beautiful sterring wheel. I've got to price it. The toys, the toys.....

I've seen the prototipo...sweet wheel as well. Probably looks more "correct" in the older cars as well. I'll have to look into the fitment of the 930S wheel...I thought there was an adapter to fit the early cars. Maybe I'm just dreaming?

Thanks for the input.

 

I have a couple of different Momos and I love them. They dont look factory, but neither do the seats or the cage soooo

 

I believe Jack Olson has the 930S wheel in his '72, you can find him here and on Pelican.com, I too have the 930S Wheel from pelican (with the silver crest) it's the nicest upgrade a 911 owner can do to the interior IMO

 

which way did you end up going?

 

I was reading the tech article

<a href="http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/911_930S_wheel/911_930S_wheel.htm" target="_blank">http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/911_930S_wheel/911_930S_wheel.htm</a>

on Pelican's page. Please tell me exactly what
I would need. Just the wheel? The wheel and the adapter or the machined item discussed there? I definately NEED this item ASAP.

 

Smoak-
I'd recommend the wheel and the spacer (the adapter is part of the wheel, I believe). No need to machine anything - installation is very easy.

One 'trick' - make sure the front wheels are dead straight and mark TDC so that you can be sure to put the new wheel on and have it straight.
