If you don't get fixed up I've got a couple in very good condition lying
about. Whereabouts are you?

I am prepared to pay a fair price for one in good condition complete
with wheel center.

I live on the Wirral (oop norfp).

I can recommend painting the older type SIII wheel with tractor enamel.
Mine's lasting very well.

If it just needs painting I can cope with that, the last one I got was
not only worn down to bare metal it was also full of deep hacksaw blade
cuts and it had no center section.

If you look here:
http://www.stephen.hull.btinternet.co.uk/example/WHEEL.JPG

You'll see the old series 2 wheel is in good nick but after fitting a
new steering box meant I needed a series 3 steering wheel because of the
different splines etc.

Not too far away then, I'm just east of Manchester, in the sticks. I'll
check them out tomorrow for more accurate assessment of condition and if I
get over your way or vice versa then e-mail. By the way, that's a *nice*

Hi Martin,
Manchester is not too far, although the postage will only be about a
fiver, still less than the fuel would be.

Having a decent 2a is the reason why I want a decent steering wheel to
go with it, I'll pay about 20 quid plus postage for a good one.

Steve.

Well of course you should Richard know , I spent a small fortune
buying bits from you to make it look half decent.

Which reminds me, anyone got a set of center s2a seat support rails to
fit the original series type seats? seeing as new ones aren't available
any more.

Can Richard price the availability of the old (non inertia) type seat
belts if there still legal?

Steve.

Indeed, it was the same price agreed with the one fuzzy was supposed to
send me.

I've got a couple of really good ones, in fact I think one is new but
dusty from being on the shelf for quite some time. I'll pick the best one
and see what the postage is tomorrow ( I may even have a late 2A one with
same fitting as Series 3 with a horn button in the centre).

Thanks Martin,
A late 2a wheel would be fantastic, I could then reuse the horn button,
although thats not really important but the wheels condition is.

Thanks Richard, I noticed these belts listed on your site but wasn't
sure what type they were. Do these particular belts come with floor
fixing anchors between the seats? cos I don't have any, having had Ford
fiesta seats fitted for absolutely yonks.

The top fixing loopy thing is part of the belt - at the bottom
they screw into the gusset/anchor doo-dah at the bottom of the
B post. The stalk, as far as I remember, has an integral fixy
bit.

Thanks Richard,
I'll probably require these when I've finished working on the Landy.
Still got to prioritise other work first though but at least I know the
seat belts are still available when I need them

Steve,
I have a late 2a wheel in very good condition but it has been
painted (part of an abandoned restoration) clean and shiny but has a tiny
crack at the outside edge of one of the spokes which cannot be seen from
above and only if you look closely. I'm not sure if the horn button is
smaller than the clamp type Series 2 wheel or even if i've got one but I'll
make sure tomorrow. I also have two Series 3 wheels which are NOS but dull
and slightly scratched with storage but not at all worn with handling (no
cracks in those). I will check the horn part and weigh them for posting
tomorrow as I have not had much time today.

Great, please let me know when you've had a chance to look at the
steering wheels
