Reference: 380MM steering wheels - THE TRUTH

[70SATMan]

ITs a 914-6 wheel but, that batwing was NEVER original to that wheel in 1970 unless there is some archaic 914 accessory that I am unaware of.


The batwing is SWB 911/912

Hi Michael,

...this would be a 914-6 or RS wheel. Can you guys confirm for me? Excellent leather, horn button etc. I don't want to post it till I can verify it is what it is. Also hard to dictate a price as there are a lot of wannabe wheels claiming to be what they are not, at elevated prices.
Jim, weigh in, but be kind.

Kudos for wanting to properly describe the wheel.
It would be an excellent wheel for either a RS, 914/6 or any other 73 and earlier 911 or 912. The horn button should be sold separately, even though, I kind of like the look.

Regards

Jim

Thanks guys. My fault with the early horn button. I like the early horn buttons, alone and butterfly (more than the batwings) and use them on my cars with early wheels. I had tucked this wheel away a few years ago with this "incorrect" horn button and forgot about it when I posted the picture. Jim...I agree with you, I like the look but it is "wrong". So here is the correct batwing that was on an 806 10 wheel...now on the 805 10 wheel. Now that I am close to correct, please help me with the original question.

IMO you have a $650 wheel there with the butterfly horn pad. You can buy an 805.10 all day for $200 needing a re wrap then Dallas custom for $350 plus butterfly for $100. Yours is good as is not sure if your cover is original if it is then there would be a premium added to the $650. Hope this helps.

Thanks Mike! This is the original cover...and very nice shape. No wear, so no reason to consider a recover. I think the 806 10 is original to my 914-6 and I have more horn buttons, so this pair is extra. I will probably use an early wood 360 Nardi in the six (like the one in my softie) but hang onto the original wheel.

Yes I have my original 806.10 for my six but am running a double wrap 806.10 with a hockey puck right now.

RS and RSR steering wheel geeks and others,

I thought I'd keep this thread alive with some photos of my authentic RSR, Part number 914 347 803 10 with a 4 '72 date code. I had my secret source in the South remove the original leather, which had a hole in it, and preserve the original felt and then DUPLICATE the original leather cover stitching and all. IMHO, he did a GREAT Job. Check it out ! Thanks.
