between the leather wheel of a 914/4 and a 914/6. I will be putting a 914/4 leather wheel on ebay once I get it removed but I saw a 914/6 leather wheel on ebay that the ebayer put a reserve higher than the highest bid of $406 which got me wondering a bit if there was a difference.
Jim Selling some stuff to get some cash to put towards my future V8 conversion and ebay unfortunately fetches the highest prices it seems?? |

I don't think four cylinder and six cylinder wheels are compatible. I think the six cylinder wheel is the same as early 911 wheels. The four cylinder wheel is it's own (VW steering column) thing.

I think you are correct - I just found a 1973 914 2.0 leather steering wheel on ebay - the back side is different that the 911 one. I'll keep an eye on it to see what it sells for. thanks.

The 4 and 6 wheels are the same. The difference is what is on the back, The four has a plastic hub and canceling ring. The 6 has a 911 canceling ring that is completely different from the 4. You can take a wheel up to a 72 and make it a 6 wheel with 911 parts. The early wheels had beveled holes for the 911 cancelling rings. They quit the beveled holes mid 72. The 911 sport wheel option in 72-73 was the smaller 914 wheel that was 380mm vs 400mm for the 911 wheel.

here is what little i have learned from reading what others have to say about the differences .....
the -6 wheel has 2 counter sunk screw holes on the back for the turn sig cancel ring. so they will work on 911s. now i don't know if some -4 wheels had these holes, maybe just the early ones. maybe the part #s tell the story. from what i've read in post on pelican the -6 leather wheels had 3 part #s, 914.347.806.10, 347.805.10 and 805.11. i don't know if these same part #s were used on early -4s or not. there are 2 different hubs, one is flat and the other has a recess. my -6 hub is flat as are the 911 hubs i've seen. the few hubs that i have seen on ebay that have the recess, do not have the 2 counter sunk screw holes on the back, but do have the 4 small screw holes that the -4 plastic spacer mounts to, my -6 wheel has these holes also. the 2 counter sunk holes would need to be drilled in these wheels for them to be used with the 911/6er style cancel ring. to my understanding, the 911 rs used the -6 wheel. so the correct part # -6 wheels, that have been on ebay are prossibly being bid up by rs guys looking for the correct part #. here are some pics, hubs, recessed and flat, |

I picked up a leather 911 steering wheel at an autojumble a few years ago, part number 911 347 082 00 (manufactured 09 72).
I was going to put in on ebay. I assume it is not a rare /6 and shouldn't put a high reserve on it or am I wrong? Andrew Attached image(s)

Jim,
For a track car, I would suggest suede; un-matched grip when wearing gloves, but not very practical for a street car. Andys |
