snomobeelr Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 My original 71 steering wheel is cracked and can now feel it. Its a stock wheel with the burlwood script. Thinking about the 3 spoke comfort grip or 4 - spoke sport wheel NK4 . Is there any repops I should stay away from or someone has experience with good or bad? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I just ripped out the tilt wheel in my ‘70 and put this in. Burns my hands if I park the car in the sun. (Kidding) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC1of80 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 The 3 spoke is for the 70 and the 4 spoke is for the 71 if going for the stock look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC1of80 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Me too! Lol. 3 spoke is on "Big Red", my 70 SS and the 4 spoke is on "Barn Find", my 71 402 auto. Complete kits are available for both wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420ponies Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 In '72 the 4 spoke could be ordered with the sport mirror, like I did mine... Going for the Custom look soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 there's always the duct tape option...... lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Or the vinyl cover the gets wrapped with the string. Just where do you put the knot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I have the 4-spoke in my 71. I have a 3-spoke sport wheel to put in the 70 but still need to get all the hub hardware to put it in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I like my stock 3 spoke might have changed it out if I had a 71/72, obviously I'm not the purest lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snomobeelr Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 I've decided on the old school chain steering wheel. 😉. Its a tough call. Not a purist and I like the looks of them both.. Gonna be a tough decision... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott S. Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 The one on the right looks interesting..... Keep in mind how much of a "dish" effect you want to go with. I found that the flat ones felt strange while driving in traffic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
