I am also looking for a wooden wheel and I haven’t really found one I love either. What I really want to do is have my factory 66 wheel redone with a new wooden ring. Does anyone know if that is possible or someone that can do it?

Nardi, they made the steering wheels in nearly every exotic car worth owning. Found one in a junk store for $15. Had to make the horn button stuff and the adapter that bolts to a Grant shaft adapter. I think it turned out nice. Definitely not selling it with that car, thinking to put it in the Bronc-up.

My step-father found the Nardi steering wheel I used to run in my old CJ7 which he kept when the vehicle sold. I'm grabbing it when I visit at Christmas, and will look at adapting to the Bronco. I've got the old horn button but it is cracked and missing a piece. I think I still have the spring and metal button that lives underneath.

I will probably have to refinish the steering wheel though.

you can use a flaming river adapter for the Nardi. little bit of machine work to get the horn button to fit correctly. we've done a couple, they are very nice wheels if you want a wood one.

310mm = 12.2"

Could probably drive with hand-cuffs on, if that's your sort of thing......

I really like the look and feel of my steering wheel. Got it from JBG.

it's one upgrade I'd like to make. I like the feel of the wood steering wheel because the original gets a gummy feel if it gets a little night dew on it.

I was kinda worried about dirt or whatever on my hands from working on her then going for a drive. Haven't noticed a thing after a couple years. Still looks and feels great.

Mine's not that thick. My DD modern truck's wheel is thicker and I like it but I still like the wheel on my EB. Feels kinda old school. And it looks great IMO.
