    Defender HCPU

    I have finally bought an OBX Daytona fixed back seat, lets hope it gives me the extra inch or two I am after. Now for the steering wheel, is there any after market steering wheel bosses available, original is 14 1/2" and want to go to a 13" wheel? Most regular auto shops just say there is nothing available as soon as you mention Land Rover.

    Cheers

    Best idea for a steering wheel is to look at the UK sites, there are a number of replacement ones available. Once you know the model you can then probably also price it locally.

    No problem, pic's would be good when it's installed as I wouldn't mind getting an idea of how it looks.

    I've always liked the steering wheel on my 300tdi Defender. It ain't pretty and it's sun damaged (I'd love to source an undamaged one 2nd hand) but it feels good to work with.

    What exactly is it that annoyed you about the one in your ute? Just interested.

    I got an aftermarket boss from Autobarn to suit classic Rangie. They did have to get it in for me.
