Leather E9 Steering Wheel for Sale - Mint
- Thread starter rgdelagi
- Start date
Correct me if I am wrong @HB Chris, but not all ‘74 wheels were leather. @rgdelagi, can you confirm if your wheel is actual leather or molded foam? If leather, and my assumptions are correct it could be a nice upgrade. There should be a date code somewhere on the visible metal portion of the hub, inside our out. Possibly under the horn ring.

Markos, I’m not sure regarding leather vs. foam on these wheels.
It is leather. Here are some additional images... you can clearly see the stitching. I also included shots of the back side of the center hub and inside... the plastic looks like is has a date code from 1976 and my Coupe is a '74. It was restored in Sweden from 2015-2018 and I don't have any more detailsCorrect me if I am wrong @HB Chris, but not all ‘74 wheels were leather. @rgdelagi, can you confirm if your wheel is actual leather or molded foam?

I confirmed via ~20 samples on BaT that they came with foam and leather. I believe that @halboyles lay have the factory foam version. Similar to other Petri wheels, the foam still looks like leather with stitches and all.
As I believe 2002 is same size and they were foam that might be the explanation, this one certainly looks like leather.
Definitely leather on this one. Looks like it has rotated a bit at 10 and 2.
My 74 has this same leather wrapped wheel. This one looks to be in nice shape.
As does the wheel on the 74 listed on BAT today.
