stuart Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 One of my French customers has acquired an early Malines built TR6 and he is looking for the correct early steering wheel for it if anyone has a good one. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR6_PI_1969 Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hi Stuart, I have the one originally fitted on my car at Malines, I plan to go back to it also. There are some for sale on a famous french website, once or twice in a year, it appears... and also on the TR REGISTER classifieds, there's one just now. I notice on the picture that it looks like the quite rare gear knob for early cars is still there! William Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bought it as being for an early CP but I've also seen mention of them having a round ball type one, I have both so no issue for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TR6_PI_1969 Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 By the way, is there any difficulty fitting this original 69 steering-wheel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, my car came with a later wheel, I fitted the earlier wheel & hub without any difficulty, you will need the longer horn push though. Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, William Thanks William, as I mentioned, I have both types, I prefer the "pear" shaped one and the other one stays on the shelf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
