Trying to verify if the steering wheel on my car is a Mountney or Tourist Trophey wheel. The screws that hold it to the hub on mine measure 4" from center of top screw, to center of bottom screw, with a 6 screw pattern.
Mine has no name on wheel or hub to verify brand. Does anyone have that brand wheel and could verify measurement? Thanks.

I have a Mountney, (6 screws, exactly 4" apart) and it has stamped on the center spoke, "Mountney: Great Britain", I can't speak for what a Tourist Trophy has on it.

The mountney I have has the name on the wheel at the bottom. istr it looks pretty hard to get rid of it. your wheel looks 'chunkier' than mine, so at a first guess I'd say you don't have the mountney - or at least not the one I have.
 
With a smaller wheel, do you find it that is is harder to turn the wheel while driving?
 
Not really, not much to be noticable anyway. Besides, it would still be better than a wheel in your thighs (BGT) or knuckles banging the inside of the driver side door (Midget).
I don't know about TR's.
 
True. I remember the Midget wheel being way too big.
 
No the wheel isn't harder to turn, and yes it gives a bit more thigh room. This wheel was on the car when I got it and for all I know could be 20 years old or more. Thanks for the measurements as 4" x 6 screws seems to be the odd size compared to Momo, and other brands.
The problem I am having is a wierd one in that the hub for the wheel is made of some lightweight alloy and has worn where it slips over the steering shaft spline to a point of needing replacement. The wood dash matches my wheel so I would like to keep the wheel and replace the hub, so the measurement help is priceless. I will now hunt down the Mountney hub.
 
Checking a ruler, 4" and 100mm are really close.
 
Kim, 4" is 101.6mm, or roughly 1/16" different than 100mm.
Close enough for a 2x4, I guess, but it may present a problem for a steering wheel mount, if the holes are drilled to a fairly close tolerance.

I was guessing a 4" when i posted, I found a metric ruler and mine is 100mm. Thanks for the follow up. It may or may not be a mountney wheel but seems to be the Mountney pattern. I emailed a couple of UK dealers to verify, and hope to hear from them soon.
