    Description

    This deluxe wood-grain two spoke wheel was used on the majority of the Mercury Cougars built for 1968 and many other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury cars through 1969. The 1968 XR7 would always use the black backed wheel, as the XR7 package had the lower dash and steering column painted black as well. The back portion of the wheel on the 1968 Cougar Decor level interior cars was color coded to the interior of the car. On the Standard models for 68, the first part of the year would have used a wood grained deluxe wheel and the later part of the year was a solid colored wheel. The benefit of going reproduction on this wheel as opposed to restoring your current cracked wheel is that the cost is lower and no core is required. Also, the mylar band has been upgraded to stainless and will not crack, peel or yellow like the original. It has been our experience that restored wheels that have had cracks filled in will in time, when exposed to extreme heat and cold, have hairline cracks reappear. This wheel has been clear coated with four coats of polyurethane for protection and luster. Note that the wood-grain front portion is smooth and not textured like original.

    Pros:
    • Looks nice
    Cons:
    • shorts out the horn relay
    The appearance is nice. I found that when installed the horn circuit was shorted to ground. I removed the wheel and disassembled the horn contact assembly to find the problem. The parts are stamped improperly so that the center hole is able to touch the center splined coupling resulting in a short circuit of 12 volts going directly to ground. By grinding the hole larger I was able to gain enough clearance to remove the problem. Also the lower contact ring is held in place by screws that were too long for the job. In order to use the screws the assembler installed large area washers. To avoid contact between the upper contact assembly and the washers the assembler used three lock washers to elevate the center contact portion so that it was not resting on the washers. I installed proper length screws to fix those problems.
