..unknown steering wheel..

..hi does anyone know what wheel is that?..only seen it in bazillian bay and love it

 

I have no idea where it's from.
I just know that I want one!

 

+1 - definitely want

 

It won't work in the UK, it's on the wrong side.

 

It is a LHD steering wheel, so unlikely to fit our vehicles.

 

Looks like a rendering, are you sure it’s real ?

 

..it’ll defo fit mine tho which has the s/wheel on correct side

 

..it’s in this bus here..

 

..and one more pic

 

Is it optimised for steering box play….I assume that’s why bays have two spoke wheels, to avoid catching one’s thumb when driving normally

 

The horn button includes the sign of Wolfsburg city -
But bay windows are build in Hannover/Emden (or Brazil or Mexico or South Africa).
They typical have no Wolfsburg sign.

The mirrors are a late T2c Brazil - the rest (too much customizing, may be)???
But these Brazil have a more solid plastic steering wheel - with VW sign.

May be not a VW steering wheel with adopted horn button from a beetle...

oh, actually this one: Volante Wolfsburg Preto VW Fusca Kombi Até 76 - Fuscanet Brasil

 

550 brazilian reals is less than 100 quid so not expensive, but you'd have to pay to ship it over. looks like it only fits the "early" lates

 

Oh my god, I soooooooo want the Petri!
And I've got a ghia to put it in

 

it’s super isn’t it? A bit pricey unfortunately.

 

..WOW mate..wish I knew portugeese

..WOW mate..how did you find it?..wish I knew portuguese..it’s defo not that pricey but shipping&customs hmm who knows..thx for heads up

 

I messaged them yesterday, got an automated response but nothing since.
I'm assuming it is in the CBA to deal with it folder.
I'll update the post if I get any kind of reply.

 

the gearchange is optimised for gearbox play!!

 

The pudding stirrer?!

It’s one of those modern mind and motor skills trainers…..you furiously wave it with one arm whilst hanging on to the wheel with the other thus activating your core, shoulders and arms…..your mind races through various calculations such as closing distances of the cars on the main road you’ve just pulled out on and can’t find second….and verbal skills as you avoid calling the van the c word in front of the missus so invent alternates like money funkster.

These things kept you young.
