Davemate Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I have a MK1 Pi saloon steering wheel that needs recovering.I have seen a cover on the "bay" but it's for a GT6 --1966-1972.Are the steering wheels for both the GT6 and the Pi saloon the same size My PI wheel is 16" (or it would be if it still had its leather on)If anyone knows or has a 66-72 GT)with a origanal steering wheel and would be kind enough to measure it for me Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrapman Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 GT6 is smaller than Mk1 PI.If you put a PI wheel in a GT6 you won't get it as well.. :-)CheersColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
