Greetings!
I'm interested in seeing all the different aftermarket steering wheels you guys have put in your old Volvos. 122, 444, 544, 445, and 210. (I think they all share the same size hub?)

Please post a pic and some info on the brand and such. And whether it was a pain to find an adapter for your brand or what you had to do to install it.

Thanks and take care.
Sam

    Here's one



    Don't know what it it came out of. I made the adapter from a Formuling france that I got with a 13 inch wheel... Oh my aching arms!!!

    Have lathe and mill will travel. Bada bing, Bada boom... and a 16 inch, flat wheel.

    still thinkin the horn button out, but mebbe the Columba hub cap on the trans tunnel is a place to start from?

    The big wheel is important cuz I hada mild stroke and one side ain't so strong no mo.

    I have NO idea where this came from. It was in the car when I got it. Kinda small but works... It's leather wrapped and comfortable. Anyone seen one like it before?

      I like it! Looks good and thanks for posting.
      Maybe it is a LeCarra? Bolt pattern looks like it.

          Maybe?? Just a guess judging by the bolt pattern.

              I don't think that's a Le Carra. I think they had that stamped on a spoke the same as Moto Lita. Both of these a more expensive wheel with the Moto Lita being more expensive than the Le Carra. Both of these had the leather extending onto the spoke as part of the rim cover. Cheaper wheels have the spoke pieces as seperate sleeve; much easier to do. Lots of cheaper generic wheels around but most will swap around to other make boss's as long as the bolt pattern is the same and you can sort the horn button out.

                Ok, I emailed pics of my wheel to Simon Green, owner of Moto Lita, and he's confirmed it's not a Moto Lita wheel... So back to trying to figure out where my wheel came from... =/

    See my old steering wheel, it was made on the 70´s decade:

    The trick: use a good "bocamasa" (sorry, don´t know the name on english, is the cylindrical part attaching the steering axis with the steering wheel).
