I read somewhere the original wood rim wheels were made with obeechi
wood, which has since become extinct. Have also read they were made
with marine plywood; anyone know for sure? I have one on my BJ8 that
I think is one of the original 'Derrington' style, though I don't
know the maker.<br>

Mine is the fitting of MGB wood rim steering wheels to Big
Healeys. The spoke orientation of 180/90/90 perfectly
hides the instruments and just looks soooo dumb.<br>
Gerry Coker designed and built a wood rim wheel for the
100S, at the request of DMH, with spokes at 60/60/60. The
standard ‘banjo’ wheel fitted to all Big Healeys has the
same orientation with one spoke vertical splitting the two
main instruments.<br>
Why, why, why go to the trouble and cost of changing to a
wood rim wheel and fit an MGB wheel? Sheeesh!!<br>
