Three original steering wheel designs were fitted during Midget production, a five-hole spoke wheel on pre-1970 cars, a three-spoke embossed design, and a later padded wheel, though most original wheels are now difficult to source or listed as no longer available.
Sourcing Original Wheels
For owners seeking an original-specification wheel, reconditioned or new-old-stock items occasionally become available, the five-hole spoke wheel being the most commonly sought by restorers of 1967 to 1970 cars as it defines the period appearance of the early chrome-bumper cockpit.
Aftermarket Alternatives
For most practical purposes, aftermarket steering wheels from Moto-Lita, Lecarra, Momo, and the MGOC Club range provide the widest choice of sizes, materials, and finishes, and are the most commonly fitted wheels on driving Midgets.
