To go with my wooden steering wheel I just purchased from Jedi.
Its for my 73'B, so please post a picture if you have one to sell or can at least give me ideas on types.
I think I'm looking for one that has the MG emblem kind've in the clear coat or varnish more so than the ones that have the emblem glued on top. But I am interested to see both.
I thank you and my car thanks you...

The new style are available from all the major suppliers (Moss, Victoria British, etc). They are also available on eBay. The old Amco type are still around if you prefer that. I see them occasionally on eBay as well.
 
Ive seen the major suppliers, and also checked ebay this week. I was outbid on one, but other than that, I havent found too many that I wanted.
Does anyone know if they fit universally among MG's or do they differ from yrs.

The one I got had a plastic insert with a pilot hole drilled in it. It makes its own thread when you screw it on. Surprisingly that worked ok, the problem was the wood knob rotate around the inset and had to be re-adhered. A little cheesy but it works.
 
Im still looking.
I like the acrylic ones where the MG badge is acryliced over. There is one I saw on ebay this week for $35. A little high, but looked great, but had a different hole size for the knob.
Did anyone happen to see that one? Looks like a guy or company makes them specially for people like us. Anyways, looked great, wrong size and a little pricey for a knob.
