Re: steering wheel....

Uno turbo mk1 steering wheel will bolt straight on. Uno turbo mk2 steering wheel will also bolt straight on if you get the boss for it as well. Mk2 wheel is also leather and made by Momo!

Cinq Sporting alloys: Mk2 Uno turbo used the same styled wheels which will fit. You may need spacers though. Cinq Sporting alloys will also fit but might have a different offset. Again, nothing that can't be sorted out with a set of spacers

Re: steering wheel....

Forgot to add - I've seen classic Pandas fitted with the Cinq Sporting steering wheel so as the Uno is from the same era I assume it will fit that too. I can't gurantee it though!

Have to agree with you about the wheel. Am on the market for a new one in fact. If I don't manage to find a decent one, I'll try and settle for some leather or leather-like cover.

They do. Although I must admit that I'm not a big fan of the 'retro' look.

Re: steering wheel....

older alfa wheels might fit. probably of alfasud/75 type era, but still, there was momo and cloverleaf fancy versions, which have interesting wheels. probably larger diameter though.

Re: steering wheel....

This is what i did:
Brought this steering wheel of ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Metallic-RALLY...QQcmdZViewItem
Then next got the old Mk2 UT steering wheel and removed the boss (Make sure your wheels areperfectly straight)
Then i put the UT boss back on then lined up the new wheel with the boss and marked the holes
Next i drilled the holes through the boss and put a nut on the back and tack welded them in place repeat for the other nuts then assemble sounds harder than it is, but now you have a cool new wheel and a boss that lines uo with the steering surround so it looks OEM
Finished result:

It does!

On a sidenote, I'm still amazed at your car's interior. Even though I may not be a fan of your current "sound-system" *cough*, I must say that I'm pretty amazed - those seats, the door panels, et al. I absolutely love that colour scheme too.
