[urq] Vintage 80's steering wheel

[SpotatAshleys]

Hello Louis-Alain
I agree with Brandon. The S2 wheel is perfect. I wouldn't go back to a stock 
WR wheel now. You need a different boss for the S2 wheel though.
Just for info: Until recently I had an Audi Sport wheel (in brown) which I 
have given to my mate as the finishing period touch to his A2 replica that 
he is building.

The wheel was made by lanti (?) in Italy - no Audi part number i'm afraid 
but stamped on the rear of the wheel is the date 23-1-85,  kba 70027,  ati-2 
if that is any help.
I have been told that these wheels were available as optional extras on 
quattros but were also available on contemporary Golf Gti's (but without the 
Audi Sport Script on the centre pad and the Audi "chevron" on the top right 
horn button). The boss part number is 321 419 661A.
It looks the part but for feel the S2 wheel has the edge.
Hope this helps
All the best

Keith
'87 WR
