WTB: Steering wheel and horn pad for a '74 914 1.8L

Posted by: Madswede Dec 31 2012, 06:22 PM

Is the steering wheel different from early to late? I have my old steering wheel with horn pad, but it's from my '73. Still has original tan leather wheel cover on it too, bonus if you have a tan interior.

PM me if interested so I can then research to see what they're worth to give you a price (which I'll happily post here).

Steering wheels from 70-73 have early splines and 74-76 are considered late splines. These do not interchange as I found out the hard way. Also the aftermarket wheel hubs list different part numbers based on the years described.

Sorry I did not specify that I'm looking for a black wheel and horn cover. Thanks for the information about the spline, probably why I was having trouble fitting an aftermarket wheel

I have one in excellent condition. Came off a 73. Let me know if you're still needing one. Thanks.

Thanks for the offer Tom, but I don't believe that a '73 wheel will fit a '74 due to the spindle size.

Thanks Garold. Wheel arrived as described and was installed this weekend.
