Why are the wood 6 bolt pattern steering wheel all dished
My quest is to eventually convert my steering wheel to a Quick Release Steering Hub. The current set up has a Triumph 62-76 column with a flat (not dished) 14 1/2" steering wheel that has a bolt pattern that only fits the original black plastic hub. I have settled on the 6 bolt pattern QRSH but the riveted wood steering wheels with 6 bolt pattern all seem to be dished at least 1 3/4" or more. It fits the car now and I'd like to keep it about the same distance from the cowl. So what I'm seeing is its a 1 3/4" dished steering wheel with 6 bolt pattern and the flat (not dished) are all 9 bolt pattern. If I buy a flat steering wheel that has a 9 bolt pattern, I would need to add a 1/2" thick (9 to 6 bolt) adapter-spacer. I think I've looked every where but I do miss obvious stuff. Does someone make a 14" or 15" flat rived wood steering wheel in a 6 bolt pattern, other than the black padded racing steering wheels?
