Weight of MM Steering Wheels
Posted: Thu Dec 12, 2019 5:10 pm
Does anyone have an early Series MM original "brown boss" wheel, minus horn push, that they could weigh (metric)?
I ask as I've just bought a "brown boss" steering wheel, originally off an early MG (?), that is lighter than a "gold boss" one.
The MG one looks identical to the MM one but has slightly more raised "dimples" on the underside (for a better grip on a faster car?)
The central hub has an additional spline cut-out which, when fitted to an MM steering column will not be used (I can take pictures).
Brown Boss wheel weighs 1.280Kg
Gold Boss wheel weighs 1.585Kg.
Thanks in anticipation,
George.
