Inspired by the latest Singer work, I went about the task of redesigning the factory steering wheel into a modern interpretation. Certainly it's not everyone's cup of tea, but some of you might enjoy it.
I made this to be the same diameter as the stock wheel, with a Momo bolt pattern. Outer rim could be covered in leather, other fabric, or be a wood piece. Horn button has two styles. The wheel itself would probably need to be CNC milled, and I have yet to design any of the horn mechanism. The rim has a scalloped inner face, similar to the jaguar Type-e steering wheels. Some of you might be wondering if this would ever be made. The short answer is probably not, but who knows what the future holds. If there's a ton of interest and an investor wants to jump on board we could probably make it happen. I more just did this as a design study. All black with hockey puck style horn button.
