What is the difference in the 14" and 15" Empi GT steering wheels? Other than the obvious size. I'm hearing there is a possible offset difference and the 14" might be to close to the blinker switch in a bug. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Vish

The spokes look slightly different. I've run both and never noticed any difference in offset.

I believe the original Empi offered the two steering wheels sizes; one for a sedan, and the smaller diameter one for the Imp buggy.

What is the order of parts for the horn button? I believe I have all the correct parts, but the horn stays on when hooked up.

I dont know about this 14" jazz. Ive only seen two sizes, and that's 15" and 16" (measured to the outside of the rim). The spokes are a little different. Maybe Slinger will get off his ass and take a picture of his as he has both styles  |

I have a 14" GT on my Imp and it's great for leg room etc. |

I now agree with Zach.... It was 380mm and 400mm, not 14" and 15". It wasn't that long ago that these (original) steering wheels were going for $200-250 for the nice ones.

I Bought two NOS EMPI GT Steering Wheels from DEE Berg Years AGO $20.00 Each in the BOX this was right after EMPI had an Auction Selling all the Old Stuff and Gene had bought two Pallets of Steering Wheels but it turned out that when the Parts were Delivered to Genes Shop they Found that about half the steering wheels they bought were NOS Stock take off steering wheels Which were Sold To Rich Kimble when he still owned BFY (Bugs For You) in Orange Calif.
