Spitfire Steering wheel

I have just fitted a new steering wheel to the Spitfire. It was my birthday this week and was bought a new mountey steering wheel for the car. The old wheel was only 11" across and I found it difficult to use, especially at slow speeds. The new wheel is 13" across and as well as looking a whole better is much easier to use. Fitting was easy just drive the car forward to line up the steering then remove the nut that holds the wheel onto the column and give the old wheel a tap from behind to release the splines and it was off. Fit the new wheel onto the new boss and then line up the wheel and push onto the splines and refit the nut, and as they say, job done. I might put the old wheel onto eBay as it may be just the ticket for someone else.
