Thread: County Steering Wheel to 1964 S2

No they are not or else you'd see a lot of them with county/rangie steering wheels. Our 68 s2a has a sports wheel and boss adapter from Simmonites in the UK.

I would like to fit a county or earl;y rangie steering whhel and not worry about self cancelling indicators and fit a remote horn switch on the dash.

You will find that your steering wheel is tightened and located by a nut and bolt through the steering wheel boss. This is incompatible with the later steering wheels which are secured by a large nut and locking tab on the end of the steering column inner shaft.

The later type was fitted from 1967 onwards and providing the spline is compatible you may well be able to use the county steering wheel.

Why don't you acquire the steering box from a Series III and fit that in place of your SII box. That way you will be able to have an expanded range of wheels including Momo etc and still retain the self cancelling turn indicator.

Thanks Guys

Hey Stage 1 , I think my 64 has a similar Simmonite wheel and boss.
The guy who had done the previuos work did source bits from the UK.
My other thought was to get a manufacturer to make up a larger diameter wheel to suit the boss

just about anything is possible I guess, but I wish you luck finding someone who'd be happy to do that. Then again, you never know.
