Steering wheel help - pic needed

paul4be · Feb 9th, 2006, 20:30

I need a picture of the back of a 240 steering wheel, the part that fits the column/ self cancelling assembly please.
Trying to work out if a wheel is any good and I don't know what the back of a 240 wheel looks like.

Thanks in advance.

Haven't got a picture, but on my 244 (1982 model) from the back of the steering wheel to the splined part is only two bits of bent metal. The trim behind the steering wheel is bolted to these metal parts; fixings revealed when horn pad removed.
This wheel is totally different from 700 series cars where there is no separate trim, it is part of the wheel. Not sure if later 200s are like this or not

AFAIK all 240s fix in the same way (unless air bag?).
I put a wheel from a 1977 car onto my 1993 - it just bolted straight on.

(Why? I like the larger wheel, and it has a rather nice brass and genuine blue enamel Volvo plaque from an anniversary edition car)
