Steering wheel...

[JoshWard]

How big is the standard MK1 wheel?

I'm looking into getting a smaller one and can't remember how big the original is

ive got a ten inch wheel on the general and it can be a nightmare as you cant see the dials properly, although it depends how tall you are

I much prefer the standard size wheel. A smaller wheel makes it more difficult to steer I feel....but everyone has their own opinions on what they prefer. To be quite honest I couldnt tell you the diameter of a standard steering wheel, The mk1 seems bigger than the mk3 but I have never measured them.

Thanks for the advice

Well I've been offered a cool steering wheel (think 1600E, Stag style etc) and the standard wheel keeps hitting on my legs. Anyone got a standard wheel and a tape measure?

as far as i can remember they are about 13" although i got a 12" in my coupe

Moto-lita website recommends 14.5 inch wheel for the Marina.

That's the size I have and being used to a car with power steering and the fact I am not getting younger (arms soon to become pipe cleaners ) I am very happy with 14.5.
Plus the moto-lita has a larger grip width compared to the standard one so it looks smaller :?
Maybe thats why the MK3 looks smaller

At the weekend I can measure the standard wheel but I am sure some one will beat me to it

15 inch

Thanks!
Might get a 13" or thereabouts.

Thanks for everyone's help

I had a tiny "MG" wheel on JBS 422S - it was great for chucking it around corners with one hand!
