Steering wheel Questions - 74 | The De Tomaso Forums

CTJacksterMember

Hello, first post here. Recently purchased a 74 Pantera (L); it’s in pretty original condition. I have a few “tasteful upgrades” in mind, nothing irreversible. First up is the steering wheel, which to my eye is not in keeping with the rest of the cockpit.

I have a Momo steering wheel in mind, but am wondering which size is generally preferred here.

I understand (from reading here) that I will need to pick up an adapter hub from Wilkinson. Any particular advice there ?

I'm also interested to learn how to go about getting a Detomaso logo button for the center of the steering wheel.

thanks, looking forward to learning from you guys

There is a sweet-spot for diameter of wheels based on your preferred driving position and more importantly how you fit in the car and how large you are. Some people prefer a smaller 13" whereas others like larger say 15" wheels. Remember, the bigger you go, the more likely the wheel will hit your thighs as you sit in the car and or turn the wheel. Yes, you need a Momo adapter and the 6 metric Allen headed screws to mount it. Not sure if Steve still has them. I searched for along time and found a vintage Momo "GT" wheel which I really liked. I think it was 15".
