Same here. The factory one on my '76 has that huge pad in the center. I removed it and it now looks just like the newer steering wheels, except mine has three screw holes in it. Show us your aftermarket steering wheels!

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

Hey Beans,
What is hanging from your AC vent, and what is hanging on your glovebox?

Does anyone know the size of the Moto Lita, factory fitted to the TR8? Also, was it dished or flat?

The TR8 steering wheel is dished.
Not sure about it's diameter but I guess 14"

Dave,
The TR8 steering wheel is 13 3/8 inches, or if you younger than me it's 340mm.[:)]
