Hi Dix,

No one has even answered your post mate?

Feeling a bit sorry for my new Wedgie mate I had a look in the shed for you.

I was sure I had a wood steering wheel somewhere in there.

After a lot of digging about I finally found it, let me know if it suits mate.

Which Scottish [sic] mate is that? Dix isn't a Scot, nor is he anywhere near the place.

Sorry thought Dix was a Jock for some reason?

That will be the mounting hole positions and spacings I would say.....?

I had a similar problem once, got over it by getting the mounting boss re-drilled and tapped to suite, here is a quote from a previous post of mine....

''There are subtle differences between the fixing holes on 'Personal' steering wheels fitted to many TVR's and the likes of MOMO , sparco etc which are the more common 6 bolt fitment reffered to as 'M' or 'modern fit'.

My old 350 has a 'personal' wheel fitted. I wanted to fit a momo wheel with a sparco quick release attachment, but found that the six bolt fixing is not only rotated through 90 degrees but that the spacings are different as well.

The personal wheel / hub, has two of the six bolts at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, and centre spacings of 74mm between opposite bolts / 37mm between adjacent bolts.

The momo and sparco six bolt fixing has two of the six bolts at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, with spacings of 70mm between opposite bolts / 35mm between adjacent bolts.''

Hope that is helpful.
