Default Foreign Steering Wheel
Hi,

Can anybody comment on the quality of Bratton's foreign 30-31 steering wheel? I know the US made is closer to original. I am more concerned with if it feels and looks like it will hold up to years of use?

Thanks,
Jerry

I wondered the same and ended up buying a refinished original for about the same price at Hershey. Wayne

Surely if it's a concern the choice is easy. Buy the home made one.

It states in the catalogue that the American one is not finished and you have to finish it yourself! Wayne

The choice was made even easier. Brattons says the foreign wheel is very nice but currently off the market.
