    SWB steering wheel question

    Simple question that I just haven't found in the archives... for the standard 400mm steering wheels, is there any difference between the SWB and later LWB steering wheels? In particular are the spokes more narrow on the SWB than the other? I have an SWB batwing horn button whose outline doesn't match the spokes of of a later steering wheel, hence the question. Thanks for the insight.

    The SWB steering wheels are 420mm. The batwing will only line up with the spokes on the early wheels. I think the 400mm wheels began in the '69 model year.
