I><I Butterfly steering wheel picture thread I><I

Great thread, I'll keep it going...

This is our Dragster

 

Mine

 

Here is one I built for my Track T, it is mild steel, and it is now painted Olive Drab.

 

Man,this thread really jerks my jerry! Thanks !!!

 

One I just finished. Chrome plated .090" 4130 with wood grips.

 

King that's a piece of art.WOW

 

Thanks. I have been wanting to do this for along time. Now I have. Just what I had pictured in my head.

 

Just some samples that I make

PURPLE HEART & MAPLE
WALNUT & MAPLE
LEOPARD WOOD
TULIP WOOD
or any type of wood
all CNC and can reasonably make grips to fit ANY wheel style

 

Those are awesome. Cool thread.

 

When I saw the title I thought, cool, another "show me your valve stem" picture thread. I WAS WRONG? Great thread keep em coming

 

The wheel for the new car. "Surfer" Bob Knight wheel with grips and center piece by me, in Zebra Wood.

 

That Covico is awesome! I never knew they produced those, learn somthing new every day. Thanks!

 

Anyone ever (or have a friend who) put a butterfly steering wheel on a street car?
Maybe a Roth-style T-bucket or something similar???

 

Thanks for bringing this one back up front. I musta missed it last time around, cool thread!

Adding handle grips really adds to the driver comfort level. I've used both with and without. I have found that using skateboard nut inserts to hold the valves together is a slick way to install the screws securely in non-metallic grips.

Here's a set I made for The Last Logghe altered.



What have others used for anchor screws?

 

I haven't made a butterfly wheel.... but if I did, I'd be considering Chicago screws or knife handle screws and rivets for attaching the grips.

Years ago we ordered the handle hardware for a cooking pot till there were no more cause everyone went to molded handles or bare metal style. Use to refer to them as "sex bolts" now I use alu binding posts and cut the heads down

 

My Butterfly for My chassis research build. Nice thread!!

 

I still have this wheel! Love it.
