Title: Re: Early Porsche Steering Hoop Post by: SlingShot on May 30, 2017, 03:31:00 am I have this one in my 67 Does it fit right on ? Do you like the offset of the wheel? Title: Re: Early Porsche Steering Hoop Post by: Taylor on May 30, 2017, 06:12:13 am It will fit the splines but won't work as is. I had a spacer made similar to this one.

As mentioned the wheel will it the column splines, but the plastic shroud will need to be removed from the rear of the steering wheel. What I did was cut down the shroud so that 3/4mm of the splines were showing, then greased up the rear of the wheel and filled the shroud with epoxy resin after inserting a turn signal cancelling 'thing' from an old Bug steering wheel.
