A Helm for me Wheel


Recommended Posts

I'm wondering if it is ever possible to find a ship's steering wheel (helm, I'm sure), or a modified one to replace the steering wheel in me car.

I was sailin' the high seas, 'round the Florida Keys.

Trailin' that merchant ship, the one I'd catch and strip.

For she had me swag, and flyin' an English flag.

A small ship's wheel can be purchased on ebay and retrofitted to the column. I did this on an art car many years ago.

However, this type of wheel is illegal in many states because of the safety issue of catching a sleeve on one of the pegs and crashing. So you'd best check on the local laws first.
