Steering wheel?
2002-01-14 by Dan Orie
Did Marcos ever have a standard steering wheel for any of their cars? Was it black leather or wood-rimmed, flat or dished, what type of hole or slot pattern in the spokes, etc. Just curious, Dano

Steering wheel?

I believe they used a variety of aftermarket wheels. I found a replacement for my gullwing which is almost a match. The replacement happens to be a 1968 vintage Les Leston product (the spokes have holes - the orig did not but all other dimensions are the same. A few years ago I approached Moto-Lita about having a reproduction of the original made, since I had acces to borrow one, but they declined since the wood rim was unsupported. Today's all have an aluminium rim with the wood bonded and/or riveted on. David McCubbin Mosaix Campaign Administrator Loyalty/Telesales * 151 - 4898 *(416) 213 - 4898 * dmccubbi@...

Yes,
In fact in the Road and Track review I have from the 60's says
that the only mention of wood from the factory was of the wod steering wheel -
no mention that the car it was in also had a wood chassis. Perhaps for the
moment the folks were a tad shy. If people want I could scan and post the
2 articles from 1965 and '68.

Hello Dano
The original Steering wheel for the 1800 GT
was Triumph Spitfire,
it had a wooden rim, was dished and had if my
memory serves me three hole spokes.
If you require exact detail I can mail you a photo'
I have one in my garage.
Regards Jac.
