Fits Moto Lita style hubs
Does not fit other years or hub styles
Warning for 1969 TR6's - Our TR6 wheel with the MGB hole design looks like the 1969 version of the wheel that came on the TR6, but our Wheel does not fit on the 1969 Hub. You will need to replace the Hub, Horn Button and Cushion with parts from a later TR6. We have freshly powder coated TR6 hubs available for $100. The other items are available at additional cost.
Hello Bob,
The steering wheel is in place and looks good, and the job really did take ten minutes (or less) to finish. I was in shock - I've had the car for nearly 30 years, and there have been very few components that weren't either a pain in the butt, or needed "persuading," (or both) to install. Your steering wheel is an honorable exception - thanks very much.
I will be in touch later in the year to buy one of your throttle control wire kits. In the meantime, I wish you a happy and profitable summer.

Hi Bob,
I received the steering wheel today. It was easy to install, and the workmanship is very nice!
I drove the car 50 miles and I like the feel of the new wheel. I can’t help thinking that this is the way it should have been originally. I like the grip and the slightly smaller diameter.
The only adjustment I may make is to bend the directional stalk away from the wheel, as my knuckles occasionally rub against it due to the slightly smaller diameter. Not a big deal.
Overall, very happy.
I will post a check to you, tomorrow.
Regards,
-Rick
The original wheel was dished slightly, and our initial design was not. All of our wheels are now dished to eliminate this interference issue.
Hello Bob,
I said I'd let you know how the steering wheel felt when driving the car. So far I haven't had the chance to make any long drives, but on the local highways the wheel does feel comfortable, and my right knee is not as contorted as it was before. I thought the slightly smaller diameter might make turning at slow speed (such as reversing out of my driveway) even heavier than it normally is, but in fact there's no difference. If anything, the larger grip makes it a little easier. And that larger grip is also kind to my aging, and slightly stiff fingers. In short, I remain delighted with the wheel.
I hope to purchase your throttle linkage kit later in the year. I have replaced the original Strombergs with Mikuni HSR carburettors, but I think the kit will work, perhaps with a little modification. Have you had any customers with this type of carburettor?
Best regards,
Christian
Hi Bob,
After a few drives now I really like the 13" steering wheel.
I had it on within the time that the my UPS driver, who had just delivered it, was hanging out talking. He's got a couple $$$ 1960's Camaros..
The bottom spoke was angled a bit differently but evened out after being tightened down.
I'm glad that the dish is a little bit more that stock.
I like the silver powder coating vs the stock black spokes better, too.
Thanks for the pleasant exchange,
