Hi,
read a great article on forums of someone refurbishing their steering wheel with a new mahogany rim. I have the original '69 wood rim wheel. Outside has splits.

I tried googling but no luck with a source. Anyone know of a supplier, preferably in the UK?
Thx
Eddie Cross

Hi,

There's a guy on EBay - ner0809 - I bought a new rim off him back in April.

Real quality and absolutely first class service. Highly recommended - and my wheel now looks absolutely stunning, even if I say so myself !

I think he does them in batches, so they may not always be available.

Certainly worth asking him though.

Good luck.

Gary

Thanks for the information. Nick Reeves made contact. Much cheaper than SNG Barrett too.
