Yes, but you need to machine the boss to accept the indicator canceller

thanks V

Standard Defender steering wheels are the best I reckon.

You're right Vlad, they are and I love em.

Only problem is that I have just had Subaru Impreza bucket seats fitted (and getting engineered ) and as they are a little higher in the seat squab it doesn't leave much room below the wheel.
When sitting it's fine but given the high edges on the sqaub (that hold you really well) getting in and out can be a bit of a squeeze.

A smaller wheel might just give that 1-2" extra clearance under and give some elbow swinging room also?

I got a moto-lita wheel from Mudstuff when I added seat rails and lost some clearance (I am 6'1") and love it. Bit expensive (at just over £200 with boss) but the Aussie dollar is not too bad so that eases the pain. They are very good quality and the leather rim has a nice feel.

Thanks Mike but I am probably going to pay $ 20 for this one off a 76 Rangie that's being wrecked.

I can then probably give it to my mate to run through the lathe at his machine shop.

Hey Vern , is that what you're saying.

Take off the existing wheel , remove the indicator canceller , give both bits to my mate and say please machine the outside of that boss down to accept that cancelling mechanism?
