16" Ruby style steering wheel question and dead Ruby one wanted. - Nick Lettington - 27-02-2023

I have a few old steering wheels, one of which I thought was for a Ruby... but it's 16" diameter. The splines are identical. Did Austin use the same style wheel supersized up the model range?

On that subject does anyone have a Ruby steering wheel where the rim has rusted beyond redemption? I need the central boss only,  no spokes necessary. Seems a shame to chop a good one.

Hi Nick I've got a Ruby steering wheel with a bent rim, I'll send you a message once I've found it.

Yes Nick, I have an Austin 10 one on the special. Originally larger, I chopped the damaged rim off and grafted on a smaller modern one.
