Momo Steering Wheel
Product Details: The B-G Steering Wheel Carry Bag has been created to keep your steering wheel protected during storage and transportation when removed from the car.
Many car owners choose to remove their steering
wheels overnight, during long-term storage, when visiting car shows or if their
race car is being left overnight in a circuit paddock for additional security.
The Carry Bag is therefore ideal for kit,
road or race car owners with quick release hubs fitted to ensure your steering
wheel is not damaged when removed, the Carry Bag has been designed to fit
steering wheels with a diameter of up to ø380mm and depth of 140mm. This depth
means a dished steering wheel with quick release boss attached would easily fit
in the bag.
The Carry Bag is produced from black nylon fabric with a reinforced structure to provide rigidity, the Carry Bag also features a removable and adjustable shoulder strap to make it effortless to carry around.

Product Description
Why Momo?
It all began with a passion for motor racing.
Giampiero Moretti, an amateur racing driver, had a unique steering wheel made
for his car. Aside from being a smaller diameter than a conventional racing
wheel of the day, the most distinctive part was the large diameter handgrip,
that made the car far easier to drive.
It attracted the attention of many racing drivers, amongst them John Surtees,
who drove for the Ferrari F1 team at the time, and had the Moretti wheel fitted
to his 1964 race car. It was a great year for Surtees and Ferrari, who won the
F1 World Championship, and also for Moretti’s steering wheel, which had its
share of the glory. Requests for the steering wheel began to pour in and what
started as a passion grew into a business.
In 1966 a plant in Tregnano, near Verona, Italy, was opened to produce these
steering wheels, giving birth to MOMO (initials that stand for MORETTI-MONZA).
The first order was from Ferrari, who had decided to use MOMO steering wheels
on all its racing cars. With this formidable entrée, MOMO began to scale the
international market. The steering wheel range broadened and production
diversified, with the company starting to produce light alloy road wheels.
The importance of design in the success of MOMO products led to the creation of
a separate division, MOMO DESIGN, in 1982. And the following year saw the birth
of MOMO CORSE, specialising in the production and distribution of high
technology racing equipment.
Today, MOMO is a global brand, representing the pinnacle in high-style
accessories, tuning products, cutting edge alloy wheels and motorsport
equipment, designed for real enthusiasts and manufactured with the same passion
that started the ball rolling over 50 years ago.
