Phil :
Go to http://www.northernlight.com/ and search for LeCarra. They seem to
be popular with the street rod crowd, lots of dealers carry them.
http://julianos.com/steering_wheels.html has some pictures.
(Special thanks to Autobahn in Wichita KS, http://www.radiks.net/autobahn/
who mis-spelled the name in their ad in the Wichita SCCA club newsletter,
enabling me to find it on the 'net.)
I didn't find any TR6 adapters mentioned, but they apparently do make
adapters for things like Studebakers and Avantis (which of course are
closely related to Studebakers). So a TR6 shouldn't be much of a stretch
(maybe the Avanti adapter fits ???).
