What Steering Wheel?

My 32 project is getting to the point that I need to make a decision on a steering wheel. I was running a stock 32 but would like to go with either a 40 ford or a banjo. Limeworks offers a 1" smaller 16" 40 Ford steering wheel. I think that extra 1" would be a good thing. Anyone useing it? Thoughts 17" vs 16" I also want the horn where it belongs (center of the wheel) Thanks!

 

i have one in my 34 truck...very nice and the horn works like a stock 40,wire down the shaft..and every inch heilps...

 

Im running a 40 ford wheel stock original .I like it being 17 inch,Im also in the process of restoring a 40 ford deluxe wheel.Im into the original gig as much as possible.......

 

I know what you saying. I may need to wait until I get the body on.

 

Speedway also offers a '40 Ford steering wheel in a 15''. It fits Ididit and Flaming River steering columns or '69 or newer GM columns. If you are running a stock column, you will have to create an adaptor. It comes with the horn ****on and spring. If you like Banjos, they also have a couple of different styles of those in the smaller diameters. Like you, I think that extra inch or two of room/clearance is a good thing. Did you mean extra clearance or extra leverage with the bigger diameter?

 

I could tell you are also.Id run the 32 wheel...........Your frame looks awesome also............

 

I think your roadster is way too cool to have any "off the shelf " steering wheel on it. Especially being a roadster, the steering wheel becomes a focal point,and should be something kinda special.

 

39 banjo adapted to a 48-52 steering box. got the horn ****on and shaft pm me if your interested

 

Thanks!

 

I vote stock 40 Ford wheel.. Good original one........

 

Sounds good to me. I also really like some of the late '40's -early '50's wheels with horn rings.

 

Well I decided to run the 32 Wheel. Fixed cracks and getting ready for paint.

 

Good idea keeping the 32 wheel, it really is hard to find the perfect steering wheel. I've got a lot of grief about changing my steering wheel but I just didn't like the cheap aftermarket banjo that I did have.

 

Just going through my threads and realized I never posted finished wheel.

 

Nice job

 

That looks very nice........I like it. Good choice..

 

that 21-studder is beautiful!!!! i love the details.

 

Thanks, Lots of your stuff on it.
