Sunday -- June 26, 2022 -- Long Beach Motorcycle Swap Meet -- Part 11 -- Three Spoke Wood Rim Steering Wheel

A very nice wood rim.
I think the wheel may be vintage aftermarket.
The wheel reminds me of a Jaguar E-type wheel but it's slightly dished (the Jaguar E-type wheel is flat).











Someone modified the steering wheel to fit on the center of a modified MG steering wheel.
The spokes of the MG wheel have been cut off and the hub shape modified to fit the shape of the wheel.

MG steering wheel hub shape modified to fit the wood rim wheel.

The wood rim steering wheel center has been modified and new holes drilled to fit the MG hub...

The wheel center was enlarged so that the sections between the spokes is very thin.
The left hand side is broken but it doesn't affect the function.

It's an interesting adaptation.
I think it might be the right hub for an MG TC.
