Default Replacement Steering Wheels

Get this, I just called my local Ford/FPV dealership to get prices on replacement steering wheels. For the standard wheel the XR series came with i got quoted $523.95!!! but oh, it gets better, the Momo wheels came in at $1450.00!!!!!! not including cost of fitting. So, my question, does anyone know of reliable stores on ebay who stock them?



Cheers

There are a few, and others will be able to post you some links shortly. I can't as I haven't used them myself, but there are many happy shoppers here who'll point you in the right direction.

rat_global (roman autotek) sell on ebay, and through their own on-line store. They usually deliver within a day, and there are Momo and auto-tek varieties. I have one of each, and they were both around the $225 mark delivered.

Here are a few
Black/blue Momo:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MOMO-FORD-AU-...QQcmdZViewItem

The one I have on my XR - best wheel ever (better than momo, and similar to BA GT spec):
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/AU-Steering-W...QQcmdZViewItem

Woodgrain one (and yes, it's more expensive, but they are very rare):
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Brand-New-FOR...QQcmdZViewItem

Then there's this one, a wheel worth $100 (at best) for $300, unless it comes with airbag, then it's not bad value:

They look white, but they're actually silver. If you get that wheel, you will not be disappointed - it's the most comfortable wheel I've ever had in a car.

RAT Global are the actual importers of the MOMO gear, so its the same company Ford got them all from. Very good people to deal with.

On a side note, apparently that wheel you have JC, is made by a German company, who are now making all the wheels for the BA/F's and Territories.

Interesting! That's probably why my wheel is very similar to the BA GT wheel then.

GK - LOL!!!

Is that for the standard perforated black one? I got mine off Mick Webb, brand new, about 2 years ago for $50. If they're now $125, that's a joke!
