MikeThomas Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Before I think about getting the steering wheel restored I would like to get confirmation that the one I have is the original one for the car. I think it is, can anyone confirm this please? It's the only photo I've got as car is at sprayers at the mo. Thanks girls & guys.

marko Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 That looks like a GT6 Mark 2 Steering Wheel to me..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elclem1 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hi mike where are you getting it restored? I have one too but very shabby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcreweread Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Mike - speak to Adrian Page, a local member who has a lovely red TR5. I know he's researched this at length and sourced a spare one and found someone to restore one as well but don't know any more detail. Call me if you haven't got his contact details.

DaveR Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Looks like the correct steering wheel to me. As interest the GT6 Mk11 used the same wheel. Very rare. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytr5 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I had mine refurbished by Hukes, Hemel Hempstead, Herts . Tel no 01442 843144 I bought the three spoke pad from Moss and Dave (Hukes) made a new leather stitched on rim. Very tasty and he is a true craftsman.

Looking for recommendations now, I see rcreweread has suggested someone, I'll give Rich a call, get his number and revert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeThomas Posted January 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Thanks guys for all your comments, I'm satisfied it's an original and the comment made by Mark has been covered by DaveR. Now open to ideas for restoration firms. Will let you know how I get on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike, My humour (or lack of) is lost on most people - TR5 and Mark 2 GT6 used the same steering wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Hogan Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hi Mike, Just as an added bonus, there should be three spring steel cone shaped cage nuts on the back to hold the padded spoke cove in place if its an orginal tr5 wheel. - which it looks like to me as its the same as the one that was on my tr5 hoges Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pridewood Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hello, Here a picture of original TR5 steering wheel nuts. Best regards John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeThomas Posted January 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Thanks John & Hoges, will have look next time I'm at the sprayers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Blackwood Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Is it leather bound? If so sure authentic, same as my TR5 wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
