I'm looking to replace my wood wheel in my Challenger with the smaller Dia. Tuff wheel kit. I've looked on line in the Carlisle vender directory but no one seems to specialize in steering wheels. Any input on either rubber of leather covered. Thanks!  :bigthumb:

Flaming River is usually in the manufacturing midway. Not sure if there at the Mopar show though.

Leather ones are much nicer than the hard plastic ones like Grant sells.  :alan2cents:
I got mine here but I'm sure there is only one supplier with multiple vendors.

Thanks for the comment about the Grant version, I was considering that one. 

Do these just bolt on to an E-body column without needing to buy a mounting kit?

yes I did have to tap the holes for the horm switch though, not a big deal to me

Then you could get a horn button from @mickm , they are nice!  They look like the horn from a rim-blow wheel. :alan2cents:

Really like the way the rim blow wheel style center cap looks on the tuft wheel.
What is needed to add that to my factory tuft wheel that I bought in the 1970's?
Thoughts appreciated.

This is much easier though?

The reproduction tuff wheel is super cheap feeling.  The grip is extremely hard.  The leather wheel looks and feels much nicer.  The only down side is that AFAIK, the leather version isn't sold in a kit.  You'll have to purchase a horn button and horn switch separately.

The discount will cover the shipping maybe ?
