1952-59 Ford 55 mainline steering wheel

does anybody reproduce the 55 mainline steering wheel as i dont have one for my car at all and there are none in England that i can find or does anybody have a nice one to sell please

 

or does anybody know which other steering wheels will fit to my shaft and accept the cam for the indicator switch

 

These will work: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1949-1956-F...ar:1955|Make:Ford&vxp=mtr&hash=item3a6cdeab4e and http://www.ebay.com/itm/1949-1956-F...ar:1955|Make:Ford&vxp=mtr&hash=item3ccbb5c248

 

Thanks for that bud ****hink it had that on it before and i was hoping to get something that was more 50s looking as im trying to keep the car in the style of the time even down to keeping the 6 banger in it ..at least i can get that and use it whilst i try to find an origional mainline wheel which would be my first choice as i love the 2 spoke wheel with the really plain horn ****on .

 

I've got a stock 56 Fairlane steering wheel but it's got the horn ring, not just the ****on.

 

For an original wheel contact these folks: http://www.owenssalvage.com/ Old wheels may have to be restored which you can do yourself I have a book I can recommend that has a good "How To" on that should you find the wheel you want,if you contact Owens be sure and tell them you are a HAMB member of this Group you may get a discount.

 

Here is a guy with some '55 Ford parts for sale including a steering wheel. Good luck, Alan S. Freeman

The blunt answer is no.

One company makes a repro for the 55 T-Bird, and even in several colors.
But despite the fact that Ford made around a million other models, the repro
company told me that the demand did not support the economics of
manufacturing a wheel for any other models. They said the 55 wheel is unique,
does not fit any other year, and they had not heard of any demand to warrant
the $25,000 investment to make the mold (and allow for a good profit).
Used wheels are not hard to find (here in the States) on Craigslist. But may be
hard to get someone to deal with an overseas sale.

Eastwood makes a restoration kit - which I used.
Comes complete with a how-to booklet.
Provides for an excellent job, but takes a lot of effort for a perfect restoration.
I used a professional paint shop for the finish work.

I know you said that you really like the really plain horn ****on but if you decide to dress it up a bit I'd sell the original out of my '55 Fairlane Victoria. Send me a private message if your interested.
