Dimensions of a Racing Steering Wheel

[Schwartz]

Hi all,
Does anyone know where I could find the dimensions and/or a diagram of a typical race car steering wheel (preferably a wheel from a GT car)?

Bumped due to no response. Sorry.

MOMO makes steering wheels for everything from NASCAR to the ALMS. unless you're talking about electronic wheels with telemetry inlaid, this is a good place to start.

This is the perfect place to start, although it would be great if they went into a bit more detail with their wheels. Thanks! 👍

Take some pic like that (facing straight to the rim, the bigger pic the better & more accurate this all will be), measure the diameter from the screen (here ~123mm) then knowing the rim diameter is 350mm irl (I guess it's the 'centerline' of the rim) we get a scale and you can take measures straight from the pic. (with some accuracy)

Example:

Here 1mm (on screen) = 350:123 = 2,84553mm (irl).

Using this example we get the drilling pattern like this:

Measuring from screen we get ~26mm

--> 26 x 2,84553 = 73,98 (mm)

( Momo drilling pattern is 6x74mm diameter. )

This is quite handy way to get a better understanding of some products that you don't have dimension drawings of. Used this many times in work as well. Not perfect but usually close enough. You just need that one irl dimension to get the scale. 👍
