herald65 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hello allI just missed out on an ebay listing for a "SPITFIRE TRIUMPH STEERING WHEEL 13INS". Very angy with myself as I really wanted it for the herald. Anyway has anyone got any ideas of what it is? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPITFIRE-TRIUMPH-STEERING-WHEEL-13INS-NICE-CONDITION-/111361189062?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=2LG0%252F229kVk%252BuHocqI1wfOPWBZY%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=ncIs it a spitfire wheel without the funny squidgy doughnut thingy and a different boss? If not what make could it be? I much prefer the smaller hornpush area (like the herald's wheel) rather than the motolita. I'm my opinion they look kind of fat... sorry :PAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Not OE, quite unusual. If a known make the seller would have mentioned it.There are smaller hubs out there, but most look more modern. A real conundrum.I guess you could get a boss turned up that could use the original horn push? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegt6 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Looks like a Mountney (13in) dished with boss - would look good in any small chassis i reckonI know there was a short period with the Spit 1500's where they fitted a 'non-triumph' (so to speak) steering wheel...... maybe 1978..??? (could be wrong of course :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Any aftermarket will fit, you just need the correct boss.Beware Triumph wheels, they will not all fit. Dolomites/saloons/stags? TR7 and late spit 1500 use a different steering column, a bit larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 M Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 looks like an olde Speedograph one.dont think its a mountney, as they had a wider outer band where it fixed.and made the spokes look shorterhttps://www.google.co.uk/search?q=images+for+speedograph+steering+wheels&client=firefox-a&hs=Zag&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=s5WJU8DbM4SYO_WTgJAJ&ved=0CDAQsAQ&biw=820&bih=467&dpr=1.5M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herald65 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Found this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261489381067?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649I don't want a 15", I want to properly downsize from a herald. However could be a Astrali wheels then?Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 If its Astrali, it will be stamped on the rear. I have two that look a lot like that, but they have the name on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cook1e Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Some Astrallis use the same boss as a mountney, not sure if they all do but I certainly had an Astralli with a Mountney boss on a Spitfire a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
