I dont know how many of you have changed the size of the steering wheel but I think you get a lot better feel to yoursteering if you have a smaller and thicker wheel. Anyone else experienced this?

I quite like the big original Stag Steering wheel, much more purchase than on the one fitted to my Eurobox.
What sort did you get Graham?

If you go 13" then you blank out all the dials from view.Graham ,you say you have gone for a 14" but 14"is the standard size for a mk 2 isn't it?

I cant see the left indicator but I dont recal being able to see it 100% before. Not sure what size the old wheel is to be sure - do you measure from the inside/outside - it just fits around the outside of the new one.Comment

I replaced my original Stag wheel within months of getting the car (Had 14 years now), I hated it. I got one from an old MG Metro, it a direct replacement. Prized out the centre, fipped it over and put a Stag logo in it. It's been on ever since, much nicer feel to it.
Looking at doing an upgrade now. Got one from a Rover 200, wanted the horn buttons on the spokes. This has an airbag which I don't intend to set up, I'll just use it to fill the centre. Also the spline hole is much smaller, got to sort out getting it machined out or even get another top part of the Stag column and machine that.
The reason is, I want to relocte the overdrive button, the horn wiring will allow this.
Then I want to get a piece of Stag antler (ebay) and make a gear knob.
