[DeTomaso] Speaking of Steering Wheels

[David Skinner]

I have a two spoke Ferrero wheel on my 71 and it does block the speedo and tach a little bit.  Its smaller in diameter than other wheels, but it looks gooooood.

 Years ago while having a beer over at Colin Haney's house, he & I 
compared steering wheels on our Panteras. I had a larger diameter 
steering wheel compared to that in Colin's car. Colin believed that the 
larger diameter steering wheel would require less energy from his arms 
to navigate a race course. He was contemplating switching to the larger 
steering wheel, so that his arms wouldn't tire out as quickly while 
racing... Does anyone know if this would have helped him?

Because I have a push button Pantera with the duel dash pods, Colin also 
thought that the larger steering wheel gave me a somewhat better view of 
the gauges. Has anyone ever compared steering wheel diameter vs ease of 
view of rpm and speedo gauges?

Thanks
Roydon
