steering wheel


Recommended Posts

Hi, i want to change my steering wheel for a wood one. But cannot decide what diameter to go for.

 

thought i would ask on here for opinions before i get the wrong one

 

also will a boss off a spitfire fit?

 

thanks ian

Yep 14 ins and flat. It does depend on your dimensions however. I 5 ft 9 ins and long arms, so column is pushed near the column and seat as far back as runners allow. The smaller diameter gives a bit more legroom and somewhat easier entry and exit. It very personal so worth experimenting with different configs. Drive a 100 miles with your preferred option , that will isolate the real preferences.

Spitfire, Herald & TR use the same wheel boss, but not all bosses have same pcd for the wheel fitting - you need a matched pair.

15inch is traditional but too big for taller drivers. 13 inch you will find heavy at low speed. 14 inch is perfect.

Have you driven with a wood rim?

I hated one that I once had. Dangerously slippery.

Jerry.
