"NEW" A/BBODY WOODGRAIN STEERING WHEEL

Here it is, the new A/Bbody woodgrain steering wheel. We stayed as faithful as possible and keep manufacturing costs low enough to make the wheel marketable. The wheel spokes are made of stainless steel and wet sanded to give it the satin chrome look without ever worrying about corrosion.

The 68-69 adapter ring is available as well as the 70 only ring and we are currently working on the horn button.

List price for the wheel is $425.

Does look nice for the price....do the splines in the hub have the large centering spline like the originals did?

You bet, I'm not sure you could put the wheel on if it didn't.

yeah you can put them on without the spline.  I have one of the fabled "drivers ed" wheels on my car and their centering splines were ground down.
Looks like a nice job right down to the locating holes for the horn contact assy as well.
The grain does look smooth/painted on rather then raised like the originals had or is that just the pic?

Hey Mike----------are you planning on offering the woodgrain wheel, 68-69 adapter ring, and the horn button as a package deal as soon as you have the horn button available?  What is your projected availabity for the missing horn button?  Good looking wheel by the way!

BEAPARTS

The 68-69 adapter is in stock and we are working on the horn button now and will be available shortly.

That price does not include the horn button adapter (cone).

We have new perfect horn pads for those of you that can't wait. We also carry all of the parts to make your wheel complete. The new horn pad retainers are better than NOS quality pieces from BEA Parts. :drool5: The horn switches are actually NOS Mopar parts. I'm sure that Mike will assure the same quality with the horn pads as they have with all of their parts. :2thumbs:
