i would guess based on the original and how hard it is to turn wheel on mine if you make it smaller then it would be impractical,

I bought a Mountney 15" leather wheel with their Boss. Size is fine as it's only 2" smaller than standard, but the quality of the metal used in the spokes is total ****, it buckles really easily, it's just not thick enough.

and thats exactly why we changed ours from a mountney back to an original like having power steering with an original................well ok felt like it at first after fighting with a steering wheel more suited to a noddy car

As far as I know a disco wheel will fit, and me being me would get one as its cheaper.

My Series 2a came with 3 spare steering wheels - obviously - slightly different sizes but all fit.

I had thought, though could be completly wrong on this, that there were two sizes of wheels for the series. Is this correct or am i just talking c**p?

Either way, i'd happily measure up the radius of the wheels and let you know what i've got, if your interested - i've got no use for 4 wheels!
