steering wheel
Discussion
Most of the momo wooden wheels should fit.
One thing to look out for, the 6 screws that hold the wheel on:
On the early wedges, the screws start at the 12oclock position and one every 60 degrees round.
On late wedges and other TVRs the 6 screws start at the 3 oclock position and one every 60 degrees round.
Basically, later wheel will fit but might be on the p155.

Jay, you need to know what type of steering column you have (probably TR7 or Rover I would guess). Most of the steering wheels require a boss to adapt to the type of column you have. You then need to choose a style and diameter. Do you have power steering? If not, then be careful if you reduce the diameter of the wheel. I found that the metric wheels available today were either slightly smaller or slightly larger than the old Mountney wooded wheel I did have. I went for a slightly smaller wheel which did make the steering much heavier, but as I was fitting power steering anyway it didn't matter.
Basically there are two types of fitting for the wheel onto the boss, the large and the small. The large one is what I have and the diameter of the screw centers is 4.5".
Early wedges will have this, the smaller dia will be found on later cars. All you have to do is get this diameter right and you can unscrew your wheel and replace it with the new one.
One other thing to bear in mind is the depth of the dishing. If you get one that is too flat it will foul your dash and stalks.
Check both of these dimensions on your wheel and make sure the replacement is the same.
Following my PAS upgrade I followed these rules and replaced my 14" wheel with a 12" one off ebay and it was fine.
