Alternative 411 steering wheel?
What's the smaller than standard steering wheel I have seen on some Bristol 411s? is it a Moto-Lita?
PS. Moto-Lita don't list Bristol as a car they make a steering wheel for ... Last edited by Kevin H; 30-07-11 at 03:49 AM.

Elliot Gant of shirt fame bought an LHD 410 from Tony Crook and insisted on changing style elements he did not like (such as chrome side strips that heralded the 411). Among other things he had a Moto-Lita wheel installed - pointing out that the huge Blumel steering wheel made little sense with power steering. It appears that both custom changes influenced Bristol in the 411. Thus, at least one Moto-Lita was original equipment on a Bristol. You can try getting in contact with Steve Sparkes, who now owns the car for details.

Steering wheels for most all cars, even Bristols
Motolita, Nardi and Momo all make very nice wheels, and most all these folks supply the necessary adaptors to accomodate most any car. Usually affixed on a splined shaft, it is simply a matter of finding the correct spline count. If there is no listing for an obscure make, all it takes is a patient supplier to assist you in finding a good fit. If he is interested in selling you an expensive wheel, he should be more than happy to make the effort.
