I believe I am correct. These will fit the LL wheel

This helps also. More to look at to find a steering wheel to use.  Thanks

The diagonal (100mm) matches hubs used by MotoLita. My modern ML (80s version) has 9 mounting holes which would allow this centre to be bolted on using three of the exisiting holes and a couple of other you would have to drill in the hub to match the wheel.

You would just need to check the centre hole size.

Cheers, Ian

Looks like it takes a Mountney steering wheel. Astrali is 8 bolt. Thanks for the help.

Aftermarket...Astrali or possibly Les Leston.   Either way it will fit a flat Les Leston as was used in P. Hopkirk's 64 Monte Carlo Winner.  Brad give me a call anytime at 509-230-6057...Scott    Also have a 13" leather wheel that would work.  Sorry I only remember this stuff a piece at a time due to the stroke or lingering effects thereof.

Looking for help finding a steering wheel that fits this hub. The OD of the raised part of the center hole is 3.5". The bolt hole spacing is 50mm between each hole, 100mm from opposing holes. The holes are not threaded. It fits the mini steering shaft. Is this a factory item or aftermarket? If aftermarket, what brand of steering wheel will fit it? Thanks, Brad
