350 Slc
I have a euro 1977 350 SLC however I am 6'5" tall so getting in/out of the seat is a problem with my legs. I want to get asmaller aftermarket wood/leather wheel to replace the origional. Here (St. Petersburg Russia) there is virtually no knowledge available on the model. However the shops I have spoken to ask me if the steering hub/spine is the same or compatible with a MB 123/124.
Can somebody help me with this. best regards, and thanks in advance. Ed. |

Hi Ed...
I think I might have responded to your question once before...but I'll give it another shot...
First of all, I don't know the answer to the compatability question. That being said, I have replaced the wheel on my 1980 450SLC using the following: Momo Hub adapter #6002, from AutoSeattle.com 14" Teak Wood Steering wheel (universal 6 hole), from Ebay The set up works well for me. The only draw back is that the smaller wheel blocks my view of the top of the speedometer. I've attached a picture here to show that. I'll send another post with a close up of the hub adapter itself. Good luck,

Check Ebay...
Aloha Ed,
There's a listing on Ebay for a hub adapter that looks like it will fit your car. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1847693905 Happy hunting,
