**STEERING WHEELS **

Post by choplee »

Probably been asked many time's ,but i'm looking at replacing my original steering wheel and see that alot of people are using Porsche ones ...
Do they go straight onto the T25 ???
Looking at 924 3 spoke or 944 which seems to be popular ..

wanted a caravelle one ,but they seem to be rare...
Any other steering wheels that are a good alternative's feel free to post please...

Thanks for your time..

Cruz thanks for the reply ...I think you are right do abit of lurking and skulking if the parts are non-essential .. there will always be another part come along ( unless it's an oil filler tube on me oil burner ...lol)..

Just remember that changing down to a slightly smaller steering wheel will affect your steering when parking, especially if you have wide alloys on. That's why I got a standard sized caravelle wheel

Absolutely - I put a Porsche 944 leather one on mine and it is really heavy at slow speed. On the plus side, it feels great on the move, slotted straight on and it means that my knees now fit under the wheel a bit easier!

The only thing that I had to do was bend the horn connector up a little so it touched the ring on the wheel. Got it for about £30.. though have seen them go for much more. One's that include T25 in the ad title tend to get more bids.

Cheers,
