Mystery boss & steering wheel

Post by timmy201 »

Hi all,

Does anyone have an idea on the brand of this steering wheel? From the initial pictures in the add the boss looked like a Maxrob, but the spacing of the spoke holes is slightly different. I’m guessing it’s off an MG based on the keyway style boss

The inner diameter, PCD and horn button seem interchangeable apart from the bolt spacing on the two side spokes (the lower spoke lines up ok). The bolt threads are also the same

I think it could be a SAAS steering wheel this one is also from Australia.

Thanks Kees. It does look similar to the SAAS wheel on Marks database. The splits between the spokes does look about the same

I’ve never seen a similar SAAS wheel anywhere else like that one. At some point SAAS changed to the Nardi bolt pattern and then swapped to the MOMO pattern a bit later.
