Features and Construction
The steering wheel's specifications are defined by its dimensions, material, and mounting style, which determine its suitability for various restoration projects.
Material and Build
The steering wheel is made from peach wood, a material historically used in automotive interiors for its visual appeal. It features an electroplated finish that presents a black wood grain appearance. This combination aims to provide the aesthetic of a traditional wooden steering wheel, which is a common feature in many classic cars.
Size and Practical Fit
The product has a 15-inch outer diameter, which is a common size for steering wheels in many classic vehicles. It uses a 6-hole bolt pattern for attachment to the steering column, which must be checked against the vehicle's specific mounting requirements. The inner diameter of the wheel, where the driver grips it, is 380mm. This measurement influences the driving feel and hand placement.
Uses and Placement
This component is designed for a specific automotive context, fitting into the process of vehicle restoration or modification.
Event or Professional Use
For professional restorers or dedicated enthusiasts, this steering wheel can serve as a replacement part when restoring a classic car to its original specification, particularly for models that originally featured a wooden wheel. It is also a potential choice for custom car builds where a vintage aesthetic is desired. The 6-hole mounting pattern must be verified for compatibility with the intended vehicle's steering column.
Everyday Home Use
For the home mechanic or classic car owner, this steering wheel offers a way to refresh the interior of a vintage vehicle.
