I saw one of them when I was in Scottsdale at the So-Cal shop and liked it, but I wasn't looking at it closely for quality at the time. Does anyone have one? Do you like it? For almost $400 it's a big leap to make without holding one in my hands.
Hey KIRK! what's the diameter of the wheel and I'm wondering if it is early steering shaft compatable? I would hate to see it on a gm tilt.
Here's their description: SO-CAL 4-Spoke Banjo Steering Wheel Patterned after those cl***ic banjo wheel, SO-CAL?s new 4-spoke banjo is 16 inches in diameter. It features stainless spokes, chrome dividers, a cast plastic rim that is black but easily paintable and a hub, machined in-house, to adapt to any 3-bolt style column. It?s a great piece that comes complete with the hub and a non-functioning, chrome horn ****on. The horn ****on shown in the picture is not incluced, but available on the site.
****, I should have guessed they would. That's who I got my Lucas light from for the Starliner. Thanks!
I guess what they mean is it will fit old-style Grant wheel to shaft adapters, huh? Who writes that ****!? Copywriting for hotrodders should get in there and say what it is, what is fits and what it costs, not babble about copying the Cl***ics and other such nonsense. JEEEZZZZZZZZZ!
Hey Kirk, I have a buddy running one on his 29 RPU. It is connected to a small "off road quick disconnect" splined collar neck. He seems to love it just fine. It was pretty solid when I drove it with no flex. I have cosidered one for my 34 but they are a tad pricey.
I'm sure it will be fine. I don't notice any flex in my 15" Juliano's '39 banjo wheel. It was stupid expensive (I had mine painted) but it was worth every penny.
I also have one of the Juliano wheels and they are the best I have ever seen. I bought mine unpolished ready for paint, which is a satin black. I left it unpainted, it looks a little more vintage that way . There not cheap but very high quality.
