[Healeys] BJ8 Woodrim Steering Wheels ???

[Derek Job]

Robert

Moto Lita are the most period correct. They were making the wheels in the
1950s and they are still making them now. Derrington wheels were actually
made by Moto Lita. If you are going to the trouble of changing the wheel I
would recommend buying the 15 inch version.
