Does anyone know if there are any after market steering wheels available for the s197 cars?

 

I'm not sure about aftermarket steering wheels, but you can purchase a GT500 steering wheel from Ford. I think the rim is thicker and they have contoured grips.

Edit: You can also get a Bullitt steering wheel. They are cheaper and have black stitching instead of red.

 

There was a company that was offering a wooden steering wheel like the ones on the '69 but I haven't been able to find it. It was really expensive, they were about $1000. They looked great but I did not think it was worth that much.

 

Not unless you want to remove your airbag. I have seen some companies that will customize the stock steering wheel with carbon fiber or color coordinated pieces etc.

Since I installed a rollbar and harnesses one of my next upgrades is going to be to remove the stock steering wheel. I have the parts but just havent had the time to do it.

 

I have the Bullitt steering wheel and I love it. Much better looking than OE, uses stock airbag and has all the buttons for the cruise control. Easy to install too. I forget what I paid for it, but it wasn't too bad.

Although I think anything based on the stock steering wheel looks like crap. But it is about the only thing you can do if you want to keep the airbag. Enjoy.

 

here ya go!

 

^ love the blue accents you have opposed to the chrome, how easy was it to remove those pieces and paint them?

 

I just got the Bullitt from Kevin at Clevenger Ford. He has them in stock and a great price for the feel. Leather wrapped and contoured. Plus the stiching isnt red like the GT500 wheels. Install in 20 minutes.
