    Part numbers on 914 wheels

    914 347 805 10................... Leather covered, rubber rimmed steering wheel 70/71 914/4 and 914/6 and (apparently) 73 Carrera RSs. (The best choice for 911s) These are the ones
    that are flat on the front.
    914 347 803 10................... Plastic rimmed 70/71 914/4 steering wheel (You can cover these in leather and they work just fine. Double wrap them and they are even better)
    914 347 805 11....................Leather covered 72 914/4 steering wheel (with 90 degree counter sink) Not the best choice but they do work better than the later 914/4 wheels with the
    beveled counter sink.
    914 347 804 11....................Plastic rimmed late 914/4 wheel
    914 347 809 00....................74 and later 914/4 "simulated leather" wheels. These things are junk!

    Bottom line.........................If it is flat on the front it is best and if it is beveled it will work but not great

    Regards

    Jim

    I would welcome any additions to my post.
    Now, please tell me what it is.

    803.10 is the core for an ST/RSR/914-6GT "Thick Grip" wheel (often called double-wrap)

    Here are some pics of my original RSR wheel (Thanks to Ron at Aase Sales)

    Notice that it was a hard plastic wheel, covered in black felt and then a thin cover of cotton before the leather was applied.

    I have the original window sticker from my 912e... It states as a factory option a 380mm sport steering wheel... It's also listed on the COA...

    Did it have the same type wheel as 73 model year or was it like the impact bumper RoW Carrera style which I presume might have had a 380 wheel.
