Can anyone identify this steering wheel?

Can anyone help identifying exactly what model this steering wheel is?

I'm trying to find a new centre cap for it. The hole is 56mm give or take a couple of mm.

It's a very little known fact that 'The Hair Bear Bunch' had a steering wheel on their invisible motorbike instead of handlebars.

That must be where it came from.

It's a Ballistic item, it would've come free with blue/white striped squidgy seats.

Im pretty sure i have a very similar wheel on my boat but i have a tilt feature on it. The centre cap has a compass drawn on it. I will have a look next time im down at the boat.

You might be able to call barnet marine and see if the know as they built my tornado

It looks a lot like a MOMO wheel we use on 4x4's. If it is, they have a plate that is sandwiched between the wheel and the hub and the centre cap clips into it. Try Demon Tweeks, expensive, but are agents.

Because the wheel's a bit crap anyway and not worth that level of work. I'm going to change it next year but it'd be nice for it not to look quite so bad this year
