Will a 1978 Midget Steering Wheel fit a '79 Midget

[Blackjokr]

Anyone know?

I do not know. But I'd guess it would. I have a '79 steering wheel if you need it... I do not remember the condition.

Trevor, thanks! I have oen but the logo pait is all worn off and I was trying to find one that looked nice. Wonder if I could just repaint it??

Wheels are sandable and paintable with the spray can plastic paint from the hardware. Epoxy fills the cracks, etc.

Just keep sanding and painting till you get it the way you want it.

If you are talking about the logo in the center of the wheel, you can buy one from VB or Moss. It's under $10 as I recall.

The difference in the steering wheels on the RB cars was the horn. I'm not sure of the VIN break but '77 had the horn push in the wheel and '78 / '79 had the horn push on the directional stalk. Either way the wheel will fit, it is really a question of the horn operation. The splines for all the Mk III sprites and Mk II Midgets on are the same.

On my 79, the horn is in the stalk. The steering wheel emblem for the late models is in the catalog? I couldn't find one when I looked before.
