WANTED 2 Spoke T&T Steering Wheel

[Dobalovr]

As many of you may know I picked up a 76 Royal Monaco Brougham Diplomat recently. The PO decided to Chrysler-fy it by adding a Newport hood ornament and a Chrysler emblem to the Dodge horn pad placed off center to cover a tear. I am looking for a two spoke steering wheel and horn pad in MB7 Blue. At the very least a horn pad. @marko graciously supplied the correct hood ornament and @marty mopar tried to supply the horn pad but it was for a three spoke wheel. Cordoba/Charger/New Yorker/Newport/Monaco etc with sales code S67 and a blue interior would work. Please help me Obi Wans....I can’t take looking at the off center emblem much longer...

Graham, FYI.... the steering wheel you need has to come off a car with T&T. You can use a non T&T steering wheel but you'll have to put that steering wheel on a lathe and machine a 1/2" off the rear acrylic hub to get the steering wheel to mount on the column.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for you.

You should just give up on your search and sell me the car

Maybe the PO got the idea from here...

Well everything is for sale ....at the right price!

Nice looking car. Perhaps removing the center pad and "trim shopping" a recover situation might work???

I remember you doing that Bob and yes I am looking for a T&T wheel. To be honest I would be happy with just a blue horn pad and live with the cracks.

That is a possibility that was mentioned to me today so I am looking into that

You could find a leather wrapped 2 spoke from a non C-body and machine the hub or you could have your steering wheel recast. My original steering wheel had cracks with 1/4" gaps and it was tearing chunks of flesh out of my hands. That steering wheel had to go.

What? . . . you mean that's not the ultra-rare "offset medallion option". They couldn't have made more than 2-3 of those . . .
BTW . . . beautiful car!

Graham, does the ATC II work?

Yes Bob and it was converted to R134A. However the blower does not turn off when the off button is pushed. Javier gave me some pointers to diagnose it. I honestly haven't had time to look at the car at all with the crap weather we have had. I hope to do some work this coming week.
