I might be in the market for a different steering wheel. I like the wood shelby wheels but they are so damn expensive. Post pics of your steering wheels so I can see some different ideas.

Now that is sweet! Where can I find one of those?
I bought mine from Branda.

Ditto on the moto lita
I got mine from Mustangs unlimited. you may have to check around to find someplace with it in stock, I tried NPD, they canceled my order after 6 weeks, I got mine from MU in about 4 weeks.

Mike, where did you get that horn button?

If you notice, once you get the moto lita you also need to go with autometer gauges....some restomod requirement or something
Works fine, I know 4 guys who have all had problems with their grant wheels and all know a way to fix it permanently, a different piece of fiberglass one of them had custom made that the horn cap attaches to. I picked one up from him and none of them with this custom ring have had problems. (one of them has had it for 6 years)

Actually, it's a LaCarra horn button, and it fits the MotoLita wheel perfectly. I found it at Summit...

The center logo is a 69 Shelby sticker from NPD, which fills the raised center quite nicely. I'm trying to decide if I should clear coat the whole thing, but I haven't done it yet.

OK, I won a Moto Lita on e-bay. Where can I get the hub that goes onto the steering column first?

Mike,
You didn't "win" anything. You stole that damn thing! You'll be very happy with the moto-lita, it's a VERY nice wheel.
The Moto-Lita is made/marketed by a company called LeCarra. Lecarra has an office in Tennessee that I've dealt with. Mustangs Unlimited sold me the wrong hub adapter so I cut out the heads up a$$ middleman supplier and dealt straight with the manufacturer. Dealing direct with LeCarra was a VERY pleasant experience. They knew exactly what hub adapter and horn kit I needed and then quickly sold it and shipped it for 15% less than I'd spent at MU.
Good luck and you'll love that wheel.

Here's a shot of my Moto-Lita with a quick release.

They are really beautiful wheels.
Do these have aluminum hubs?
I had to replace one like that (brand unknown) when the internal splines stripped.
And it gave very little advance warning.
When it went, it went....could freewheel spin it like it was on bearings as opposed to attached to a steering shaft.
It happened when my wife was backing the car out of the driveway at just a couple miles an hour.
If it had happened when she was doing 80 along the beltway around here....OMG my car! :hide
I replaced it with one like SilverBlueBPs.
I think it's a LeCarra, but has a hub that's something more like cast iron.
So...stay away from aluminum hubs!

LOL! That is funny Sh!t. I would have said the same thing.
Dave, I didn't know LeCarra was the manufacturer of the Moto Lita. I thought Moto Lita was in G.B. I was looking at the LeCarra's at Summit and thought they looked identical. I was going to get one or the other. I guess the LeCarra hubs will be the same, right? If so I can order from Summit. Thanks Dave.
