I know they are N/A. Is there any demand for them? What do they usually sell for? I have a good used one I am thinking of selling.
 
I bought one on e bay a couple of years ago for $100.00+ do not remember exactly. It was straight and had no cracks but the center section needed painting. I had bought another one off e bay which cost less but had cracks and the spline was not in good shape. At the time I had a TR3A but no steering wheel so I went for it.
They do show up on e bay from time to time with very high Buy it now prices claiming to be Perfect. I do not know i they get that price.

Hope that helps.

At one time it seemed TRF was trying to get reproductions made but that never happened.

Usually they crack around the rim. If yours has NO cracks it would be easy to sell but probably still in the 100 to 150 range, maybe a bit more (but I'm no expert). You might try the classifieds on this forum.

Macy's was looking to buy old steering wheels at one point to have them re-done with wood rims. But I don't suppose they were looking for good ones.

I haven't tried it but I don't think it can be done, at least not easily. The column are different and so are the mountings. Stator tubes are different also the adjustable having a linger groove.

The wheel question was abut the wheel on my TR3B, which had a plastic wheel cover.
Upon removal I found the Bakelite quite deteriorated. I contacted Eddie D as he seemed to have several examples of almost every older British steering wheel.
Upon finding my wheel was the adjustable type I looked into the possibility of fitting a non adj. wheel as they cost about 1/2 the cost, way more available, and they are closer to the dash giving a tad more room.
After some research and following this post I have abandoned the swap for obvious reasons and will attempt to repair my wheel with epoxy putty. Another option is to change the upper half of the column to a compatible fitting (retaining nut) for the stationary wheel. If all that turns out to be beyond my abilities or not doable, I will purchase an example of the adjustable wheel from Eddie D.
His refurbishing skills are tops and time consuming.He is quick to share information and very reasonable about pricing.
So... as usual, this forum, it's contributors and the innerweb make my excursion into Triumphville possible...
Thanks so much
Jim
 
Have you seen the repairs done with Baking soda and crazy glue? Use it to fill cracks in the rim. I have not used the idea but it seems like it would work.
