[Tigers] Steering Wheels

[MWood24020 at aol.com]

Agree on all points. Add in the cumbersome 15" diameter and thin section  
and I couldn't wait to replace the oem wheel...which is nicely boxed and  
sitting on the shelf at the garage mahal ;-)
 
I did see an interesting wheel today on a car built by Dale, which had a  
14" diameter wood rim, with a custom fabricated horn ring, which was  
visually very close to the stock set up.

One of  the considerations I have not heard addressed regarding the use of a
wood  or wood rimed steering wheel.

One of the concerns in Vintage Racing  circles is that of wood rim steering
wheels. The concern revolve around the  potential of wood splinters entering
the driver while under  impact.

I doubt many of you will concern yourself with an issue like  this but
awareness never hurts.

I also happen to really like the  feel of my leather wrapped wheel!

Just my .02

Regards, and Happy  New Year
