914 Steering Wheel

[rkulina]

I just pulled this steering wheel from a 914 parts car. It has the following part number: 914 347 805 11. Date code 71 11. I'm a little confused regarding this part number from all the postings I read. Is this a 1971 914-6 wheel?

Mr. Google says that it might be from a 72 914-6. Which is interesting; I thought the 72s had the same steering column and switchgear that the -4s had?

It might have also been found on some 911 RS models?

Will the real RS Steering Wheel stand up


BTW, I believe that production for the 71 model year would have ended in 07/71, so an 11/71 wheel should be appropriate for a 72 model year car regardless.

Thanks Dave. I'm restoring a 74" 2.0, so this wheel will not be correct, but its in good condition.
