Pork Chops Posted 8March, 2017 Report Share Posted 8March, 2017 These are my Momo Prototipo wheels.The ones on the left are 350mm Clay Regazzoni signature wheels, on the right are "normal" Prototipos, but in 370mm. The 370mm wheels give a better view of the speedo; especially handy in Victoria, the nanny state. Bags bottom right. Refurbed in nappa and with some 1/8" foam to make it a fatty.

9er Posted 9March, 2017 Report Share Posted 9March, 2017 Gilles was pretty sick and wasn't going to respond to a bit of leather care.Tried to buy another one but prices have gone mental, so stripped the cover off and spent a few hours with the Sikaflex and then sent him off to the expert for a recover.Very pleased with the result.

Philbee Posted 9March, 2017 Report Share Posted 9March, 2017 @9er, I noticed your expert did the prototipo style stitching.... when i asked my expert to do this he said blah blah NO blah de blah. Hmmm, I got ripped. Well done, looks great. Does he have a half brother in melbourne by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9er Posted 11March, 2017 Report Share Posted 11March, 2017 The recover with Prototipo style stitch was actually cheaper than the Correct Porsche stitch that he has done for me on the 74-84 3 spoke style factory wheels..Probably why he's always busy.

Alex69T Posted 12March, 2017 Report Share Posted 12March, 2017 Bags bottom right. There's a nice one for sale on Pelican Parts Forum at the moment for US$1900.

James P Posted 27April, 2017 Report Share Posted 27April, 2017 Can anyone ID the signature on this 370mm vintage Momo dated 01-78? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 27April, 2017 Report Share Posted 27April, 2017 Jo Siffert maybe? Raced 917's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James P Posted 27April, 2017 Report Share Posted 27April, 2017 Jo Siffert maybe? Raced 917'sThanks Lee it maybe... its very hard to see, any one else got an idea? did Momo make wheels with his signature on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9er Posted 27April, 2017 Report Share Posted 27April, 2017 AFAIK the signature wheels are all 350mm and I think I know all the drivers that were featured( no Siffert), not much help, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boys Own Garage Posted 27April, 2017 Report Share Posted 27April, 2017 Pretty good guides available if you have a quick Google search - http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/857169-momo-signature-steering-wheels-overview.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 27April, 2017 Report Share Posted 27April, 2017 Maybe email Momo themselves to see if they can shed any light on it. Worth a shot anyway, as there seems to only be the 917 Momo wheel he used in the Le Mans movie that was auctioned off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC 3.2 Posted 27April, 2017 Report Share Posted 27April, 2017 Can anyone ID the signature on this 370mm vintage Momo dated 01-78?A bit strange but it does look like Allan Moffats signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 27April, 2017 Report Share Posted 27April, 2017 It does. Especially the top hook in the first letterhttps://goo.gl/images/kT3QEA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowDieselGolf Posted 28April, 2017 Report Share Posted 28April, 2017 Can anyone suggest someone who might be able to thicken and re-cover this in black leather? Dallas steering wheel seems to be worth a try, but postage makes it pretty expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex69T Posted 27September, 2017 Report Share Posted 27September, 2017 9er, here's what I know:1. Both wheels are/were for sale in Australia,2. I've never seen another one of these for sale internationally,3. Both seller also had other Holden/HDT items for sale as well.4. The one I posted is 380mm, not sure about your's. So probably off a "full size" car, not a little sports car.Based on that, I suspect some special edition Commodore, maybe?So, who did a special edition Holden back in the day? Brock, Wayne Gardner, anyone else? Well done on your completing your helmet horn button collection. Our Belgian friend helped out with the last of mine too.

Alex69T Posted 28September, 2017 Report Share Posted 28September, 2017 That would be a good result Alex.yes mine is also the larger diameter. A few extra minutes of Googling today and it's confirmed 100%.You were right about it being VH Group 3 era, but we were both wrong about it being a limited edition Commodore wheel.It's not a racing driver's signature, and once I tell you whose it is, it will lose it's mystique (and you may not want it anymore).One last chance, do you REALLY want to know?
