Title: Steering Wheel change
Post by: MattW on November 11, 2005, 00:24:52: At the Billing LRO show I noticed a multitude of Defender and Discovery steering wheels knocking around. I'd really prefer to fit one of these as they are smaller radius and more comfortable to use. The boss on them is different to the series but the question is - can you fit a defender steering column to a Series steering box.

thanks
Matt

Paddocks etc do have other wheels and centre bosses to suit though
