Thread: Waldegard Steering Wheel

    Waldegard Steering Wheel

    Does anybody out there have ideas on the origins of this steering wheel - it's a screen-grab of Waldegard at the wheel of his 1976 Safari Stratos.

    Can't help with the wheel David but the boss looks a little deeper than the usual one so that may be a clue?

    Hi Guy, yes could be a spacer boss to bring the wheel back. It's dished a bit too. Cheers for the input

    It's a Ferrero David. Note the pcd size and bolt arrangement.
    I've never, ever, seen one for sale.

    There's a standard Lancia Montecarlo wheel (MOMO fitting, here) that looks similar, but it's not the right one, and it won't do for your car.

    That's a good find Guy, that would be a spot on steering wheel as it's almost a perfect match to this very well know car .



    Get it retrimmed to match and I would have thought the long spoke trim would cover the two outer most holes leaving just the single inner hole visable.

    It's a good start anyway, not sure how rare they are.

    Of course the Group 5 car had this version as well:

    That's got to be the narrowest drivers seat ever fitted!
