[W126 Coupe] Swapping steering wheels

[Dick Spellman]

Graham,

Here are a couple of low-res photos I needed for the collector insurance 
policy.  They show a MOMO wheel with adapter to the column that is a 
direct bolt up replacement to the 126 chassis. Wheel diameter is smaller 
and adds to response in steering.  The instrument cluster upper area is 
somewhat blocked but, not to a point of annoyance.

Matching the wood trim for shift, wheel and car is a bit of a trick. It 
is possible however as seen here.

Regards,
Dick
