Great thread.....Can anyone tell me if 901 347 081 00 dated 1970 will fit a 68? I am guessing this is a 911 wheel and not 914, but I am not certain...tks, Craig

Perfect...Thanks Jim
Jim, Great info. I didn't have all the steering wheel detail knowledge that I needed. However, PET is confusing me. In the Euro section they list only one part # for the 73 911 RS. 911 347 084 00.Leather covered 380 mm wheel. Your thoughts?
More PET confusion. Part # 914 347 805 11 is listed as a wheel for a 72 and up 914/6. (I didn't know they made the 6 in 1972) Underneath, they list the same part # for a 72 and up 914/4 with leather.
The 72 914/6 used the VW steering column with the key on the right. Gled
I have info on 3 steering wheels that are original including covering that I documented carefully. 1. 914 347 806 10, 74mm grip circumference, original to my 914/6 in mid 70's. 2. 914 347 805 11, 86mm grip, new in box with 72--> VW hub. 3. 914 347 086 10, 91mm grip. This wheel I called a RSR wheel, it has a very soft thick grip and the covering was very smooth and glossy. Gled
Good Info Gorden
One of the keys to determine whether a wheel has a hub that is compatable with a 911 column is the last 2 digits of the stamped number on the hub. If it ends with 11 is is 914/4, if it ends with 10 it uses a 911 hub no matter what it came from.
Regards
Jim
PS: Never knew a 916 used a 914/4 column, very interesting.
Don't know about 916 but 72 914/6 did use VW column. Can someone confirm the number of 6's built in 72, I don't think it was very many. I will try to find info later. Gled
