for sale; restored wooden steering wheel. Edit-Sold.

[eriknetherlands]

Fruit of my labour; for sale one wooden e9 steering wheel.

restored:
- 3 original NOS chrome rear caps. absolutely perfect chrome.
- 3 reproduced front caps, in stainless steel.
- freshly sanded wood, with repairs to veneer made. (see pictures)
- 3 hairline cracks in bakelite on front
- bakelite is glossy, but has wear (scratches)
- painted in automotive exterior quality clearcoat.

Pictures show honest condition; I've tried to show all in worst lighting camera angle as I could.

Proceeds will go towards getting the steel carcass that currently resides in my shed on the road...

Do you have the center pad?

 

[Bez]

Are the reproduced front caps in stainless steel visually the same as the NOS chrome rear caps?

How much to ship to the US?

Hi all,

- the reproduced front parts are not 100% identical: they have a slightly different colour reflection, less blue then real chrome. surface is a tad less shiny. attached some comparative pics. But if you know me, you know i am very (too?) precise. You won't be able to tell the difference between the chrome rear ones and the stainless steel front ones, when at arms reach: where the front and rear parts meet each other is at the sides of thee spoke, and its just 3 mm. because of the angle and being at arms length, it is hardly visible.
in pic 104135 you can see originals (chrome and satin, depending on build year/model) and handmade ones: front to back: 2 original satin chrome, then 2 original chrome, quite blue reflection, then 5 handmade stainless steel.

- No horn pad unfortunately.
- shipping to US (mainland) +75 Euro.

 

[eriknetherlands]

Just checked weight and shipping rates to be exact, to mainland via ups insured is 35 euro's. (Instead of 75 euro written earlier).

Erik.

those reproduction parts look great.
I would recommend finding a center pad as it will make sale of a complete unit easier.

If Erik doesn’t have one, I have a center pad that I’ll ship free to anyone who buys his wheel. Thanks!

 

[eriknetherlands]

Markos that is wonderfull.

I purchased the wheel without the centerpad, so i guess the wheel will be happy to be reunited after so many years.

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question? Was this ever a standard steering wheel on the E9?

 

[Stan]

I think on 2800 CS

I think on 2800 CS

Thanks Stan.

 

[Gary Knox]

This type of wheel was on the 1973 3.0 CS I bought in 1975. I assume therefore it was a standard item, as the car was essentially stock in every way when I bought it (might have been an optional upgrade at that time, but I have no question about it being the OE wheel).

Can confirm: My 2800CS has this exact wheel

.......must.......resist

 

[Bmachine]

My '72 3.0cs also came with that wheel.

 

[Markos]

A very fair deal for this wheel. I’m surprised it is still for sale. They are quite pretty in person IMO.

 

[KirkT]

Honestly, I agree that it's a good price. I'd pick it up, but I need to use my money towards getting the car operational first, then I'll pretty it up
