Adding Banjo steering wheel

I saw a replica used and it has the Nardi wheel but I want the ivory Banjo wheel, is it difficult to replace the steering wheel?

Not if you get one that fits your steering shaft.

i got rid of my banjo, it was too thin and flexed alot in cornering situations.

Mr P., great tip on the steering wheel. And, in my humble opinion, you should make up some horn-button centers-did you see the prices they want for those? $90 bones!

I was interested in the Flat4 Banjo, until I held one in my hands. The Nardi is far superior. I will update the look when I can afford to do it right. My $.02's.

I think I trashed two or three old VW style banjo wheels I had when I moved to Rhode Island (one had fluted spokes). One of them had some Statue of Liberty figure on the horn button. Only much later did I realize that they might be worth something

An original Golden Lady horn button ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ?


YIKES . . .

The ladies in red are real.

The ladies in blue nice but aftermarket.

I personally Like the St. Christopher Zodiac version. I have one on the Beetle. the D has the Stoddard (P) crest .

As for the flimsyness of the banjo? What kinda driving are YOU doing?

If your Just a street cruiser It's fine.

If your a serious racer? (OR a Gorilla gripping yard ape) Then Yes You want a Nardi ..

Both the beetle and the D Have rack & pinion steering and you can single finger steer eather. they are that light to the hand.

(I like my banjos wheels!)

Have to agree with Bob. I had one and ended up replacing it with a more robust 4 spoke from MotoLita. I loved the way the the banjo wheel looked, just did not like to drive with it.

I enjoy mine very much. I am not into driving like a mad man in the curves, but I will take it up a notch in the straights. I do believe it looks alot better than any other wheel out there!!!!!

You can see the difference between my before with the nardi and the banjo.

I have the Flat4 and find it thin and too flexable.

Gabriel,
I agree with you. I think it looks lots better. I put one on my car and have never regretted it. I do drive a bit agressively from time to time but was taught to handle the steering wheel as a "directional stabilizer" rather than a "gripping handle". Many of my older sports cars had wheels that were somewhat flexible but that never created a problem. I suggest that driving these cars within their intended limitations no wheel is too flexible. Just my opinion.....

Happy Trails,

Yelp I'm with Dusty . I like the Nardi it's a fine wheel. but the banjo to me is a better look..

If I could have got a real 356 wheel with the horn trim ring that lets the center horn button be the flash to pass button. THAT! would have been the Cats Meow for me .

But I choked at the price tag and settled with the banjo.. the price was way to much, just to be totally correct.. and with my car being a Automatic . Just a waist of of real (P) parts.

Anyone have a P' horn button to fit a flat four ? ~Alan
