Flat or Dished Motolita Steering Wheel, that is the question?

[Oldschool]

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

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.

I run a Nardi on one of those bosses and it works just fine, with no clearance issues. Nice wheels…

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...

Thanks Keith, that's exactly what I needed to know!

Up!

Just wanted to have your opinion about black or chrome steering wheel, what about the boss?

When I used a flat Motolita wheel on my old '67, it interferred with the turn sign lever. So, I had to tweak the lever a bit.

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

Go on Motolita's web site and build your own wheels. Awesome options... Cool web site.

I've already been there but I can't make up my mind about the combo

Mine is a Lecarra, Motolita replica no ? Haven't got problems with the turn sign lever but I haven't got woodcutter's hand
