New steering wheel opinions

[Mike65 475]

I have to get a new steering wheel since my old stock wheel is all cracked. I was contemplating one of these three, what do you think?. Opinions.

Lecarra Sport, black padded.

Ha Ha Ha  I actually have it saved in my watch list and have been debating about getting it but the longer I look at it the more I think what am I thinking.

Of the three you posted I like the one from CJPP the best

Keep in mind if you have time you can make your own..Its been done...About 400 threads ago....

Round and firm with just the right size and feel....I need to leave now.......

Either of the first two, imho.

[jholmes217 65]

I'm partial to these two,  which I think have the classic look.  My Mach 1 horn hasn't worked since I bought the car, and after reading the posts of other members having issues with repro rim blow horn rings(http://1969stang.com/forum/index.php/topic/55514-69-rim-blow-switch/,) I'm leaning towards one of these.

I like the one from GT performance because it has the round holes.  To me, the Mustang wheels have always had the round holes as part of their design.

I'm going with the LeCarra Mark IV pictured below. You can get it with a slot in the spokes (Like the 70 rim blow wheels) or with round holes (like the 69). I have a ginger interior and they have a color that looks like it matches.

The LeCarra and the Corso look good.  But, it's always tough to select a steering wheel that also fits into the interior.  You don't want to look at the end results and think, nice steering wheel, but . . . it kind of seems out of sort with the rest of the interior.  There are repro's of the original steering wheels.  An original fits with the interior.  But, by itself, the base model original steering wheel doesn't look as nice as these others.  Good luck.

I went with the 1992 Ford truck wheel.  I have cruise in my vert, and I wanted that on the wheel  (yes, it works).  You can get them without the cruise if you want.  The woodgreain is close to the Mustang, and  the  "camera case" black finish is exactly the same as the console.  The wheel is soft leather , about 2 inches less in diameter than the Mustang factory wheel.   I can tell you more if you want.   I think I might even have an extra one I could unload if you want.

I was looking to go with something like this... no tilt column and very little leg room were the basis for my reasoning.

danno,

    Does the other wheel you have does it have cruise control & wood grain like the one in your pic?.

Agreed. I have the Pro-Touring Steering wheel, its a good set up and simple install. 

[Angel 24]

I have a Lecarra wheel. I love it. Great quality and price.

[RPM 1,190]

If I was to do it over, I'd get black instead of the wood grain.

Just put a leather wrap on it

I love my Lecarra wheel and got the black leather one.  I was thinking of doing the wood grain for my truck but think I'll just do the leather for it as well.  I have a friend that did a 67 Shelby Convertible clone and did the wood one and it looks good but is not as comfortable.

[Guillaume69 150]

LeCarra is way above Corso in terms of quality. Two different worlds. I got one of those Corso Feroce and was very disappointed by the quality... Pretty much like the rest of what SD sells these days: crap. The Corso wheel stayed two months on my car and was swiftly replaced by a LeCarra. After 9,000 miles, I am still amazed by the beauty and the feel of that wood steering wheel.

in my 69 I wanted something modern but classy so I installed a MOMO prototipo with the Momo hub.

The hub is not really designed for 69 horns contacts but I managed to modify it.

Look at the Forever Sharp steering wheels...I have one and LOVE it, plus you can change the top pieces out to wood grain, leather, faux wood etc... and they have a lot of colors to choose from.

Its a VERY Well made wheel and fits perfectly

[ray1970 88]

Most of the wood ones I looked at were as pencil thin as the OEM wheels..

In 1960s or so this was normal But I never cared for it..Maybe that is why wheel wraps were so popular?

(The death of most rim blow wheels)

Size matters!!   Now lets talk about horn buttons. (After a cold shower)

[lanky 44]

I have to give a quick shout out to Forever Sharp steering wheels. I bought one a while ago and I really like it, especially since the horn works! Few know about them but they have good reviews.
