Steering Wheel

Post by CatGuy » Fri Apr 08, 2022 11:45 am

Are all steering wheels the same diameter and fit? What should I be looking for? My car came with a 'Fatman' steering wheel and I am thinking of changing it out. It's just not my style and I just climb in through the passenger side anyway.

No. You would need to identify the year of your T.

That'd be the largest, "improved" 17" wheel I believe.

I'll be happy to trade for this 16" wheel, fits the steering gear, aluminum spider. Can meet in Iowa City to inspect and avoid shipping, I'll buy lunch.

Thanks for the offer. I'll let you know. I'm really hoping to have a completely stock, black spoked one. Do you have one of those?

Yes !! I have completely stock black spoke 16” or 17” steering wheels I’d deliver from south Texas to trade you and buy lunch......but, be advised, the fair market value of mine are $35 each and yours - probably $450 😜🇺🇦
