Steering wheel and gear knob
Discussion
I've just bought an S2 (with the standard (!?) 4 spoke wheel) and I'm just wonederng whether the steering wheel boss is standard across TVR and wether the boss would fit (for instance) a Griffith wheel. I realise I may be opening a can f worms....
Also, gear knobs..... are they threaded - mines an Escort/Sierra item at the moment - not very Leven.......

Mine came with a Motolita 4-spoke black anodized / black leather wheel, which appears to be the standard (
) steering wheel at the time. jonnylayze said:

I doubt it.

Thread is common to most Fords. Many replacements use grub screws rather than threads.
I have a spare personal steering wheel from my S3 which I intend to sell - mail me if your interested.
Also can you take a pic of your current wheel so we can see if the bolt pattern on the boss is the same.
Re gear knobs - I have always found the grub screw type just keep on working themselves loose - most of the ones you see for sale on e bay etc are for the Chim / Griff etc geastick which has a larger thread, you can buy reducers however this raises the hight of the gear knob, what I did recently was to buy a gear knob with the larger thread, fill it full of metal filler and then drill and tap out to the correct size for my gearstick which has worked a treat.

I've got a MOMO gearknob which came supplied with a number of hard rubber bungs of various bores.
You select a bung that makes a tight fit around the thread on the gearstick, put it into the bottom of the knob (oo-err) and screw it onto the thread. The thread on the stick cuts into the rubber bung to make a tight fit, the 3 grub screws then seal the deal.
Its very good and hasn't shifted since I put it on.
