Yeah, I was drawn to its modern interpretation of the old banjo steering wheel. I especially liked it wasn't Y-shaped with the "banjo strings" as with most genuine antique versions. Whatever I end up doing with gauges, that configuration (and size) would help.

I want to see it in person before anything else -- especially for what they're asking for it and having read some of the cautionary tales.

I like the design of the wheel you picked

The grant wheel I have was a mahogany wood version($100) with metal on the inside the wheel itself felt good the adapter just didn't fit right had a little play in it up and down had to use a couple of washers to get it to fit correctly (after a couple of years of use) also it was a little small so curves on the backroads to disney world were a bit of a workout.

I like the feel of my new (new to me) momo better

This weekend I'll be installing my momo - ebay is a good source for them in excellent shape. I paid $100 bucks for a MOMO Fighter wood and leather version (normally 300+)

Before I had the porsche dash installed



momo wheel I'm installing

In the "Momo hub adapter" section on the LTB web page, it states "You may lose the horn and turn cancel features on some cars".
Does anyone know if a 1303 is one of those cars?

Horn will work if you are lucky, if not, with a longer cable you can make it in 2 minutes.. I had this problem in my standard, but it was caused by the hub and not the wheel..About the cancel I don't know, but I think it is the same situation.
