Steering wheel for TR4A
Discussion
I have just purchased a Triumph TR4A (in New Zealand) the steering wheel is original however I'm 6ft 3" and its a bit of a tight squeeze 
,
the current wheel is 15" dia, a 12" would be great,
any suggestions / advice on a make/model worthy of a TR4? without doing a disservice to the car!
thanks

Be careful, it'll make the steering heavy. An inch or two makes a surprising difference...
1. That's what she said.2. I'd agree that jumping all the way down to 12" might need bodybuilder arms to turn the wheel - I don't think the TR4 ever came with power steering? Dropping to either a 15" or maybe 14" is likely to be a safer bet. A little extra room for the legs without needing to spend more time lifting weights than driving the car.
If a smaller wheel does make steering heavy, then fitting electric power steering will help.
