Title: Flat or Dished Motolita Steering Wheel, that is the question? Post by: Oldschool on February 14, 2010, 14:45:14 pm Hi there, as sen in many Cal Look VWs I just wondered if the Motolita steering wheels fitted were the Flat or Dished models, such as in Ivan Mc Cutcheon's and Hector Bonilla's 67 for example among many others.
I just love these wheels but before getting one I would prefer having info on them Regards Oldschool Title: Re: Flat or Dished Motolita Steering Wheel, that is the question?

Post by: Neil Davies on February 14, 2010, 21:35:01 pm I had a Grant woodrim in my car, on a Flat Four GTV boss, and it wasn't particularly dished. Unfortunately it only gave about 10mm of clearance betwen the wheel and the indicator stalk on the '67 column.
I hope the Nardi wheel I've just bought off ebay fits better! I've still got to get a boss - I think the Volksbits one should work.

Nardi do a VW boss mate Homm, I'd read that Nardi source their bosses from another company, and as I've only paid pennies for the wheel and horn button, I didn't want to spend a fortune on the boss! Tight, me? Must be my Scottish side coming forward... :D I run a Nardi on one of those bosses and it works just fine, with no clearance issues. Nice wheels… Thanks Keith, that's exactly what I needed to know! ;D Title: Re: Flat or Dished Motolita Steering Wheel, that is the question? Post by: Oldschool on January 27, 2011, 12:24:35 pm Up!
Just wanted to have your opinion about black or chrome steering wheel, what about the boss? Title: Re: Flat or Dished Motolita Steering Wheel, that is the question?

Thanks for the info, I'm going for a dished in 14", but I'm wondering about what style (holes, thin slot, tear drop, plain) and also colour of the spokes/boss Title: Re: Flat or Dished Motolita Steering Wheel, that is the question?
