Does anyone know what other steering wheels will fit a 75?

My 75 has a leather wheel that's gone 'sticky', and I can't find
anything to restore it - so the leather is currently coming off all over
my hands.

It's very hard to find a decent used 75 steering wheel, so I was
thinking of grabbing a 164 item as an alternative.

When I switched from a 33 to a 75, I noticed the steeringwheel looked
exactly the same. It even has the same little hole in the padding
somewhere on the backside, probably a leftover from the moulding
process. Both mine are/where are plastic, not leather. Don't know
about hub size etc, but you could have a look at a 33 wheel.

Hmm, I think there might be a Momo wheel somewhere in my mates garage for a
75. I'll have a peep for you.. IIRC, it was pretty much stuck on the
column..

You need a special Alfa steering puller to get them off usually.

But, if you can have a look, that'd be handy.

complete with column..
