The wheel arrived, seemingly overnight. 

Very well packaged.  Nothing was missing. No scratches, dings or dents.

The wheel has some good weight -- it's a heavy, quality piece!  Beautifully made.

A test fit of the hub went well.

If anyone is considering a similar purchase from MSW -- go for it.   Chung Nial was great to deal with (by email always responded promptly).  Very good value. And I can't believe how quickly I got it.    Thank you,

I agree he’s a class act. I believe he restores old steering wheels as well. Might be worth a try.

I tried a test fit... everything seems OK.  But I'm not sure about the part in img 0783.   Is it a 'must', do I need it? (meaning did I screw up) or perhaps it's needed for other applications?

Also, I found I needed to take a piece from the old hub (img 0784).   It's function is to cancel the turn signal as the wheel straightens out.

I have a bit of an uneasy feeling I messed up.

Your advice is appreciated

@swan4356 , 783 almost looks like a spacer.  

- Are the holes threaded or just a pass through?  Do the holes line up with the blinker cancel  part by any chance?  

I’m wondering if it could be the spacer to work with a later model blinker assembly ( a part that would fit between the hub and the blinker cancel part ( pic 784…. Which by the way you did need to grab from your old hub since most steering hubs/ wheels are not sold with that part).   than the one you are using.,  Yhat or the spacer that fits in the horn button hole / which is also a three hole, in the event you had ordered at the horn ring assembly ( which I believe you opted out of).

Just a couple of thoughts.

Thanks for the reply.

The holes are threaded and do line up with the holes in the blinker.  But I wouldn't have the proper screws (length) to attach it.  (none came with the kit)

I was thinking it's a spacer -- not to bring the wheel much closer to the driver-- but for another application as you suggest.

Thanks for confirming I did need to grab the blinker cancel part.  I do see this part is available from SCM.

And true, I opted out of the horn ring.

Today, I'll tighten everything up and test drive.



PS.  I ordered a plain ivory horn button. I'm thinking about a Porsche crested button.

Would the one from SMC (644.347.821.01) fit?  They say it's 79mm, Stoddards has same part number at 82mm...

I purchased the SMC Porsche horn button part number 644.347.821.01and it is a perfect fit in the MSW steering wheel.  It's expensive, but MUCH nicer than the one which came from MSW (nothing wrong with the fit and finish of MSW, just the 'porsche' logo isn't accurate due to copyright).  The SMC button is listed as being 79mm and fits beautifully.  Photo of both installed-
