[dan67]

Hi!, i fit on my 911 cabrio the steering wheel Abarth (classical model 38cm diameter) whit momo performance hub (..but on see the white eletrical contact((
is very similar to 911R steering, W.Rolh drive your 911 with this, i am very happy!!!

[giovanni86]

I like it :-)

[ivangene]

beautiful wheel!

38cm seems big to me, but thats preference

mount = pretty ugly....just saying, but you knew that

[dan67]

yes..but..38 cm diameter is same the three spokes,,the Abarth is 38/35/32 cm
standard fit on:
38 cm = 124 abarth and lancia Delta Integrale
35 cm = A112
32 cm= fiat 500/600 abarth
now i seach one black "cover"

on italy major people fit small steering on 911 (race) sparco or momo...but for my is not "correct" for standard cars

my old 3D = FS ABARTH steering wheel 37mm (14,6in) NEW alternative Momo..Euro 299 with WW ship
FS ABARTH steering wheel 37mm (14,6in) NEW alternative Momo..USD 400

I like it. It is much cleaner looking than my factory wheel, but it is the same diameter.

Dan67,
MCV1954 may have a solution to your exposed contact ring. Search "cloaking device" on the for sale forum.

[dan67]

WOW! good good!!!

[Caferacer]

It's all wrong. Remove it immediately and send it to me.

[ivangene]

yes, that cloaking device is nice and not very much $ IIRC

so you drove with the smaller wheel? (37mm) - how do you find going to a bigger wheel, i think it would be tough to do

[will hung]

I was going to suggest the cloaking device. It's for an earlier car with short hub. So there will still be a bit of exposed area.

The Abarth wheel looks great Dan. These wheels are really cool and have a pretty long history with a bunch of different Marques. They come in different styles but the one you have is the best looking in my opinion. It certainly doesn't hurt that they seem related to the infamous 911R 'Monza' wheel — even though the Monza's were flat.

I personally prefer the early Abarths — but then, I'm a sicko. They have slightly larger spoke slots.
Here's a 370mm diameter made by Momo from approximately 1965-67. Note the 12707 — that's a momo design number.

looks really nice....get the finishing kit on there, pronto!!!!

Looks very nice Dan! The Momo prototipo round spoke cutouts echo the dials ; the Abarth wheel echoes the dash - nice clean lines.
Who sells these?

Hi tazzieman, on Italy original Abarth is missed or very rare and expansive (i have.. old time buyed ultimate stock 37cm...) but very good and correct replica search for exsample on ebay.it "volante Abarth" (volante=steering wheel) or this shop : Autoricambi Sassi, ricambi per carrozzerie nazionali, estere e veicoli d'epoca....

Couldn't find the real Abarth wheel , well not at any reasonable price. But the Momo "Retro" painted Rustoleum black & suitably rubbed with raven oil to blacken the leather and stitching to match the dash, gives IMO the ultimate look. The bellows tie in nicely with the gearshift bellows , and the 360mm wheel is a great size and feels very nice in the hands. By contrast , the old wheel plastic plastic horn pad seems huge and blocks the dash.

I refuse to pay up to $80 (incl $38 for postage ) for the Porsche crest horn knob , which after all is just a standard knob with a piece of painted tin. The unadorned black looks fine .

The flash in this photo makes the stitching stand out a bit pale, but in real life it is now black as the ace of spades.

looks nice! Have any pics of the seats? What color is your car?

The car is furn grun (fern green, like mine)

[bkreigsr]

your wheel looks dangerously close to the visor over the gauges.
please don't sacrifice safety for the sake of bling.
all the other pictures show the install on earlier cars with a lot more clearance.

Love the mods to the retro wheel, but I'll one up you on the horn button side. I bought the cheapest horn button I could find and a 3 prong center cap from our host and made my own horn button. Sorry for the poor cell phone pic.
