What size is your aftermarket steering wheel!?

As per title! I wana change my stupidly massive one but not sure what size.. I was thinking 13"?

Recommendations and pics welcome!
Ta

14 or 15". cant remember which but it came out of an imported mx5 though if thats of any use.

Do you find that a good size?

15" Mota-Lita from MUD UK.

Perfick.

OMP Targa at 330mm on QT boss, ideal for me.

works for me, aftermarket boss tends to make it quite a bit closer to you but then thats the same with any wheel i guess

:hijacked:

was gonna start a new fred but reckon this is close enough

Does anyone know of a decent way to refurb an old series steering wheel.....now my old gurl is looking quite together the wheel really lets her down and fed up with manky black hands on damp mornings. Got a leather cover on the way but any ideas/****-taking/abuse for the spokes?

Quite fancy one of those shiney metal spoke jobbies but they are selling for silly money

I have used a 12-inch one on my 90 for the past 5-years or so, used a 14-inch one for several years before that but changed to 12-inch and definately prefer it.

12 inch is pretty small! How is it seeing your dials?? What size are the massive standard 4 spoke ones?

Like the look of that mud one, not the price tho!

No problems at all, I don't even give it a thought as they are perfectly visible.
The old 4-spoke is 16.5 inches diameter.

Ahh do you look over the top of it? I'd like to be able to try a few different sizes! They arnt cheap are they!? I was thinking of one of those 'mountney' copies on eBay. About 40 quid and a boss for about 20..

No, I look through it as normal and can see all four gauges perfectly.

What is a "Mountney copy" (your link just takes me to E bay and not a specific item)? Mountney have been making steering wheels for over 30-years and I have used several of them in that time.
You have to be a bit careful as their 'classic' range will not fit an industry standard '6-hole pattern' boss but they also make '6-hole pattern' wheels so you can interchange at will. On my current LR I used to use a Mountney 14-inch leather & alloy 'classic' wheel but now I use a 12-inch leather & alloy 'Raid' wheel on a Mountney '6-hole pattern' boss C/W Snap-Off adapter which I find an excellent set-up.

If thinking of getting an aftermarket wheel first remove your existing one to check how many splines you have on the column (36 or 48), don't try to work out how many a vehicle of your age SHOULD have but just remove the wheel and count them to see how many you HAVE got. It takes only minutes and removes the possibility of ordering the incorrect part.

I'm not sure where that link came from! I didn't put it there...

Here is what I thought about..
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

Yeh il try... And get my wheel off, might have to make some kinda puller...

That will do the job ok.
That is about the cheapest one Mountney sell. The vinyl isn't as thick as leather and you haven't got the bling of the polished alloy spokes but it is a perfectly functionable wheel which should be quite pleasant to drive behind if you are still using the original 4-spoke one.
A puller is almost always required but is really simple to make. I made mine using a short piece of flat bar with a couple of holes drilled in it and makes removing the wheel a quick & simple operation.

Sounds perfect to me.. How much more do you pay for leather? I don't want polished, I prefer the understated look!

I just don't kno what size! I'm thinking 14 like that one cos it's cheap!
