[DML] Re: New Steering Wheel - More Sporty

["Dave" <vdavidj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wanted to put an aftermarket wheel on my car, and looked for some of
the same criteria you mentioned.  After several years I was never able
to settle on a wheel, but finally decided I wanted something similar
to the Lotus Esprit Sport 350 wheel.

It's one thing to find a wheel?and an entirely different animal tying
to get the thing on the DeLorean.  I wish it were plug-n-play...but
unfortunately it required some major modifications to two MOMO hubs to
get it to work properly.

The steering column is provided by GM, so any GM, GMC, or Chevrolet
MOMO adapter should fit the spline on the steering column. 
HOWEVER?those hubs don't have the appropriate setup you will need to
work the turn signal snap-back function.  And you may run into other
problems depending on the steering wheel you choose.

I put a picture of my steering wheel in the Files section under the
Cobra folder.  I was a little disappointed when the new DMCH steering
wheel looked similar to mine?so much for my wheel being unique.

Hope this is helpful.
