boxofbits Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Afternoon All Wondered if anyone knows the commission number change for the early steering wheel to the later type ( assuming there was only two types)? Also am I right in thinking the very early type was a black finish with circular holes in the spokes, and the later type with slotted spokes? Regards Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Smith Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Kevin, There were in fact three different steering wheels for the TR6 - the first, as you rightly say, was black with holes in the 'spokes' and was 15". To CP50000 From CP50001 (15") From CR1 to end of production (14.5") and thicker rim - note different centre pad (fake stitches) and horn posh Hope that helps Cheers Andrew Edited February 10, 2018 by Andrew Smith Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iani Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Resurrecting an old post I realise, I just wanted to check that this wheel would be right for a '69 UK car? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr graham Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Iain yes that is correct for an early to mid 69 car not sure when they changed Derek Graham would be the man to answer that , the spokes need painting satin black graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
