Replica bakelite steering wheels?

Post by cessna »

Is there anywhere to get replicas of the original bakelite steering wheels? I've searched high and low. Doesn't need to be bakelite, I just like the look of the original steering wheel.

I don't think so, but its not that difficult to refurbish a worn original one, and they aren't impossibly rare.

I agree with Tim, they are easy to refurb, either by yourself or there are people who offer this service at a price. I am not aware of anyone doing a straight replica MK1 wheel.
