I got this steering wheel in the last parts buyout I did. Hard to tell if it is new or not. It looks very nice but has some dings and rub marks on. Just wondering if it would sell better if I got a hub to go with it before selling or not. The hub would be new from Nippy Cars and probably be around $250 delivered. The hub is made to take the MKI Austin or Morris center. The going price on ebay for just the steering wheel is $300-400.

I like that hub, with the polished ring....what sort of horn button would go with it?

The stock MKI Austin crest or the Morris "M".

I would sell it as just the wheel.  Reduces the chance someone doesn't buy it because they already have a hub.

The only problem with Brad selling the wheel by itself, what's he going to do with the hub? I've seen the wheel in person and it's gorgeous! Splitting up the pair would be just wrong.

I read it as he'd buy a hub to go with it, which cost $250.

I have not bought a hub. That was the question weather or not to buy one. At the moment I am leaning toward posting on FB marketplace without a hub. It was used on a lot of european cars in the 60's.

Oh.....yeah I thought the hub was with it too. So no, just sell it as is.
