WANTED Fatman steering wheel
I'm looking for a "Fatman" steering wheel for my Model T Coupe. I don't need one of the locking versions, just something that will swing out of the way to help make it easier to get in/out from the driver side. Please use my E-mail contact through the forum. Thanks!

Re: WANTED Fatman steering wheel
There are different types: The Bauer, is a "folding" type. It can be mounted/adjusted to fold up/down or right/left. Keep in mind, one half goes in EACH direction; IN towards the seat, OUT towards the windshield.
The Nevil, is a "sliding" type. Most mount it so it slides UP for entry/exit. A much nicer entry/exit arrangement. DOWNSIDE: The Nevil comes in 2 basic types: FOR Model Ts and For all others. The All others type has to be mounted upside down, like a Ford steering wheel (wheel cup AWAY from the driver). The "cup" is shallower than a Ford wheel and poses clearance problems for those of us "plus sized" drivers. The Nevil for Model Ts is a HARD one to find.
I have both types, so speaking from experience.
Good Luck
