Steering Wheel change
« 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

I read on another message board that you can fit a 200TDi steering wheel from an early Defender onto a Series steering column...

The easiest an cheapest was is to locate a montego/maestro wheel, they will drop straight on, just remember rip out that horrible badge from the centre boss

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

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

I agree but the original wheel kept getting polished on my belly, could only hold my breath in for so long :lol:

I have a mountney (sp?) wheel on mine, about 2 inch smaller diameter than standard. It is a bit heavy, but then it saves me from going to the gym!
