[Tigers] Tiger Steering Wheels

[Tod Brown]

Joel:

If you want to keep the horn ring from the Tiger, about the only options 
you have are a Tiger wheel, which is wood, of course and, as you noted, 
expensive, or an Alpine wheel. The Alpine wheel is identical to the 
Tiger wheel but is made of plastic and is much more readily available 
and, hence, cheaper. There are other wood wheels that can be fitted to 
the Tiger such as Moto-Lita or Nardi but are pretty expensive and would 
not look very good with the horn ring. There are other options to allow 
for the use of the horns with such wheels but, again, it's more money. I 
notice there is a hub and horn button for a Moto-Lita wheel on eBay 
right now for $277.00. The cost of the wheel is additional, of course, 
so you can see where this is going pretty quickly. Several years ago, I 
was able to find a leather Moto-Lita wheel on eBay and a mounting hub at 
reasonable prices. In addition I found a replacement turn signal switch 
with an extra position (used to flash the high beams, I believe, in the 
original application) that I use to activate the horns by pulling the 
stalk toward me. The Lucas number is in the CAT notes, IIRC. My original 
wooden wheel and horn ring are carefully stored and, no, they are not 
for sale. Hope this helps.

Merry Christmas to All,
