new steering wheel for the pantera

Wants to know the same thing. Had an idea of trying to use a new style of wheel (as of cars from -90's and up).

Ford Capri column,ignition lock, turn signal stalk and steering wheel.

Circa 1971.

De Tomaso took the German Capri unit, cut and removed a section, and welded it back together.

On each Pantera. If you remove your entire assembly, or perhaps just crawl under the dash and search, you will find the weld point.

All the vendors, of course, can provide wheels that fit...perhaps an easier method than ordering and hoping they will fit.

Here's an obvious choice, a Momo Prototipo Steering Wheel. Made in Italy, highest quality leather and stitching. Original equipment on the GT5 Pantera. It includes the splined hub, just bolt it on! PM me for cost.

Typical choices with readily available hubs are Momo and LeCarra, once you have the chosen hub then any of that manufacturers wheels should fit.

Personally I think Momo has a good modern selection if you want an updated look. If you are in the process of upgrading consider a removable wheel too.

Thanks. I have put a pic of what is on there now. perhaps if I knew what the brand was or what other brands of wheel, the current hub suits I could do that and save some $$ on the hub.
This is the old int pic.


really want a modern looking wheel.

Looks like a LeCarra.

Agreed. The LeCarra hubs are about $60 so don't let that drive your decision as most of the LeCarra wheels are retro style. Besides, one man's junk is another man's treasure and someone will want your old hub and wheel.

The Momo "Race" was my choice for 3336. It looks like it belongs in the Pantera and has a nice feel.

Or a knockoff.

I think a true Carerra is always stamped on one of the spokes.

I have that wheel on my '74 with a quick release. Not only does it look good, I like the grip and feel. If you want to go ultra modern Momo do a similar wheel with a squared off bottom.

Like many I don’t care much for the stock Pantera wheel and was very pleased that someone replaced the stock wheel in my Pantera with a 13” LeCarra in the 80s. In my opinion I think the LeCarra wheel really fits the look of the Pantera’s sparse business like interior and at 6.6+ it is a necessity for clearance for my leg on the console.

I have the LeCarra in mine, ans yes it is nice, but times change !!and it will not suit the new interior.
The Momo Race is nice as well, and could be a goer.I did see once a Momo wheel that had a covered horn pad ( no visable screws) I think I may like that as well.
The quick release hub ?? is that a pure hub that suits the pantera shaft ? and your wheel ? if so where did you get it from ?
Seeing lots of wheels I like, but not finding hubs to fit them
My hub is the 9 bolt hole type.
Thanks

You could go with something like this to complement your wheels http://www.lecarra.com/images/Aspen520.jpg I think it might use your existing hub too.

Mike

Looks good
My brother is telling me to get a billet wheel.
I do like the billet look !!
This may sound silly but who sells lecarra wheels over there ?
Thanks again for your help

Summit Racing offer a selection of LeCarra wheels, for the full prodeuct line see www.lecarra.com/

Momo USA is a good place to start for a visible selection of their wheels and they have a dealer locator.

Once you decide what you want we can help from this end to figure out who's got it in stock and the best way to purchase and get it to you.

I do like the Aspen 520.
That with a plain centre cap ( horn function not needed) pref covering screws.
Summit don't list them
With the Momo, i will need a new adapter
I do like the Momo Nero, and the Millenium EVO as well !!

here's an other interesting steering wheel

I was looking for something else, but noticed that Graham Pantera does a removable steering wheel hub for the Momo/Sparco wheels at $205 or a regular polished one for $120

Find them here; http://www.grahamortho.com/pantera/2006_catalog.pdf
