Wanted Steering Wheel for 1964 2a

[flywheel au]

I am presently looking to buy a 1964 2a SWB hardtop which requires in addition to other work a replacement steering wheel as the existing one has a section of the plastic rim missing where it has come away from the steel inner rim. A question is will a wheel from another model fit and has anyone have a suitable wheel for sale?
Also the outer sections of the rear crossmember are rusty with these sections on the car I am looking at appear to be box section whereas there are pictures of the crossmember on this forum showing these outer sections to be of a simple angle section. Have mine been modified?
I am located on the Northern River N.S.W. and assistance from members of the forum will be greatly appeciated. Jim.

Steering wheels can also be refurbed....but I understand it is not cheap

The ones on ebay are late 2a/3 wheels I believe so not the correct one but I think will still fit anyway

No - steering column is different - need to change the box as well.
