bat wing steering wheel

Looking for a driver quality batwing steering wheel (black if possible). Doesn't need to be show quality, but don't want to have rebuild half of it from putty either.

Thanks

 

Bat wing??? Can you supply a pic?

 

Sorry, I don't have a pic. It's the base wheel that was used from 69 - 72? (I think). The 68 base wheel has the three equal sized spokes like a sport wheel and is solid plastic, the "bat wing" just has two wings and is solid plastic. I think the 68 one is 16" dia but I'm not sure about the bat wing one. Both have the solid metal round horn button.

 

I might have what you are looking for. I will try to take some pictures tomorrow.

 

This the wheel Tim N. is looking for:

 

Yes, that's the style. Do you know if it is 16"" diameter? Thanks

 

Yes, I measured mine and they are 16" diameter. I am also trying to find one in Gold and one in brown, both for 70 models.

I have a black one, I have to look at the condition, haven't seen it in a while but i do remember that it had some cracks but the center is nice $100 plus shipping I'll get some pics and post them.

My 72 Stage 1 Suncoupe had this wheel. Mine has a crack in the bottom of the center part where it attaches to the collumn. If you dont find anything let me know. Eastwood makes a kit to repair it .

That is the exact steering wheel I am looking for mine has a couple of cracks, the same color green.

1972 GS 350

 

Is that called a Rim Blow steering wheel?

 

my personal fave steering wheel... my '72 stage car and my '72 special order gs-350 had this very wheel in black...
truth be told if I could find this wheel in hunter green I'd happily rip the 3 spoke out of of my GS convert.

wish I could help...had about 20 of these wheels [flawless] in black or brown over the years. sadly as with everything they dry up..

 

Do you still have a brown one or any that could be repaired-restored? I would buy one or two for a reasonable price if it could be repaired and used, let me know, thanks!

 

Yours can easily be repaired and restored if it only has a couple of cracks and you save your original wheel for your car.

 

who repairs them? or is it a do it yourself kit you can buy?

 

There are places that repair them for you and Eastwood has a kit and I am sure there are other kits out there as well. A buddy of mine has a body shop and he has repaired several with very good results.

 

sorry , I no longer have any, I dont even look for them [other than hunter green] these days, as the old car parts market along with quality used /nos parts have gone the way of the dinosaur.
