Keep the original one mate, it suits the car and does the job fine, there's a reason it's so big, to get the leverage!

Adz rekons grippa's steering wheel on his series is "the size of a shirt button" and I don't think he has any probs..
I have a Triumph Dolimte wheel in the 2a 88" it's fine, you should always try to be moving to steer anyway even if it's just inching forward or backward or you'll end up with very sloppy steering box and there only so much ajustment before you get loads of free play. You'll have fun taking the original wheel off too, can you film it so i can have a laugh?

My lightweight came with a tiny wheel, it looked **** and was a bastard to turn. Dont buy an early 90 wheel, they dont fit either so if anybody wants one....

I have a 10 inch (Snigger) Astrali wheel.. Bearing in mind Most Classic minis had 12 inch wheels!..
Gives **** loads of room inside the cab and it doesnt effect steering too much.. Think of it this way you dont want to be steering when stood still becuase that nackerers your steering box and linkages and tyres..
I have found those aftermarket mourtney wheels just flex in your hands!.. My mates on his 2a with 205s on literally just flexes back and forth!
Why not try a 10-12 inch astrali wheel with HGV knob?.. You know the kind that bolts to your wheel so you can steer one handed? Thats what im going for when I have passed my test.. Trying to keep out of bad habits you see

The Dibnah had a 13" steering wheel (Ok Grippa - i know it was red
) and that was ok with 7:60's.I think its the steering column yu need to be more worried about
