Anyone fitted a 350mm steering wheel in place of the standard 320mm factory one? Are there likely to be any issues with clearance for a right hand side gear shift (on a RHD car) etc.? All other bits are as factory supplied.

many thanks in advance

Can't see it being a problem at all.

Russell, are you used to driving a bus or something?

The bonus of having a slightly larger steering wheel will of course make slow speed turning/parking a little easier, but negligable.You might be better advised to follow the Joe Weider Bull Worker program and then you will have the added bonus of a more attractive physique (not having met you,I am not casting asspirtions).I have now completed my intensive body building program (created to turn me into a finely honed Ultima driver) and am prepared to offer my Bullworker for sale at an extremely competative price.

I remember taking ages over my steering wheel choice and in the end opted for an OMP Kubic which is even smaller than the ‘standard’. I am glad to say no additional weight training was required, which is more than can be said for my left leg when I hit traffic!

Yes, me too! I have a left leg like Fatima Whitbread and because I hand riveted my car, I have forearms like Popeye
