Hi folks. Does anyone know where I can get the trim that goes across the top of the horn pad, on the steering wheel, for my 78 Eldorado. It`s the Biarritz Custom Classic model which means it`s wood effect. Thank you.

There is a reproduction being made of that piece. For 77-78 models. Can't recall the vendor but a google search should direct you

Thanks for that. I have found a reproduction one on eBay but looking at the pictures, the finish on it doesn`t look stock? If anyone has any other ideas I`d appreciate them. Thanks  ;)

It is a low demand item so only one company is reproducing them.  That style wheel was used in 77 & 78 only and across all models so I m sure they use a faux wood that is not specific to one model, but is close enough to work in all. 

So that's pretty much your choice.  The repro that isn't quite spot on, a used one from Ebay, repair yours, or search the ends of the earth for an NOS one.

Done a temporary repair to mine, until one turns up??? Strange though, it`s as if the steering wheel has got bigger or the trim has shrunk as it doesn`t fit anymore??  ???
