Replacement S/Wheel

[davidn]

I have the original wheel which is fine but has numerous indenations & cuts caused (I think) by previous owner wearing rings and holding on very tight.
I am considernig the change to also allow a spacer to be fitted to get the wheel a little closer (long legs, short arms)I have seen these availbale in various lenghts including a rather clever adjustable one. Anyone made the change, and what is the steering column from (I heard Vauxhall)?

Why dont you get a quick release one as i think the attachment they have will also bring the wheel forward a bit. and the bonus of security.

Steering column is Cavalier, and the standard Personal TVR wheel is mounted using a boss kit which allows any Momo-type wheel (6 bolt) to be used - so you can fit pretty much any aftermarket wheel. As for wheel/boss extensions, try Demon Tweeks - they do racing stuff so might have something suitable.

Edited to say don't get boy-racer creative and try using those lovely coloured anodised ally bolts to mount the wheel - they aren't up to it. Read somewhere that you can get a removable wheel if you use them, when you're least expecting it...

Edited again to say whoops! just read on Chimnea postings that personal and momo wheels have a different bolt positioning to each other - hope no-ones gone shopping on the strength of my info above!

Wot? You don't mean those pretty Lodd (think about it) Technology jobs I've just fitted?

The ones with the matching reversable cap?
Seriously, stainless steel ones will work if you want shiny.

I always thought a Cerbera wheel would be good and the little buttons could be wired in to do interesting functions like flash brake-lights at tail-gaters or deploy the bullet proof sheild Rich...

p.s. I think Clive "Zertec" reed fitted one to his Griff if I remember rightly, or perhaps he has the buttons fitted to his Personnal wheel.
