Do you know guys what is this steeering wheel ? I bought it as a Speedwell (but the Speedwell have a larger boss location), I don't know if it's one. I was also told it's a Formula wheel. Fabs maybe you saw it in a catalog  Huh
I can't find a boss that fits it, so any infos would be great.  Wink

Definitely looks like a speedwell one. I have some pics of my formula wheels so you can compare. Finding an original boss is a nightmare but the flat4 repso will fit if you redrill the mounting holes.

Thanks guys, yes very hard to find a boss for it. All the bosses I've tried have the correct bolt pattern but are too large to fit. The Flat4 GT boss seem the only one that have a correct diameter, but yes the mounting holes on the wheel needs to be redrilled.

It seems that there is 2 types of Speedwell wheel : one like mine with thin diameter boss and one with a bigger diameter boss ?

It's a Formula wheel made in the UK 100% certain. And yes, they made the wheels for Speedwell.
Cool wheel!

nico , before i've my speedwell steering wheels back in 96 , i had another steering wheels similar to yours , and as you i was thinking it was a speedwell one , but the speedwell had  more curved spokes
my formula steering wheels had an golf mk1 boss because i  had a 74 bug , and i drilled my steering wheels to the boss species
but the speedwell one fitted directly well
