    Steering wheel ID help?

    Sitting home in the midst of 'Snowicane' (which is actually pretty impressive), poking around I can't find the old thread about steering wheels. So I thought I'd ask the steering wheel gurus for ID help. I bought this wheel many years ago. It is extraordinarily gorgeous, and it is absolutely unmarked. Thoughts? Thanks in advance,

    Hi Rich, I'm sitting a few miles from you. Off the top of my head, 9-bolt steering wheels are made by Moto-lita or Grant. That looks like a Moto-lita

    1971 Condagrun 911T targa
    1974 Indisrot Carrera coupe (US)
    1972 BMW Polaris 3.0 CS

    It does look like very much like a Moto-lita Mark 3 flat, except Moto-lita wheels are engraved with their logo, and this one has no marks. I don't think it is a Grant.

    Looking further (it is still snowing hard here), it is obviously a copy of the wheel on the Porsche 550 A Spyder in the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen; however, that one is clearly engraved Moto-lita.
