What steering wheel?
I want to try a smaller steering wheel than stock, what steering wheels are you guys using?

I quite like this but its a bit more expensive than I had hoped:

Have a look at the Momo range lots to choose from.

Bolt on Bits also do a range reasonably priced. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

I prefer the leather one, I would think the suede one would nook crap after a while, though each to their own I bought this Momo and I am really pleased with it.

I have the Startech as I think it suits the Defender and looks OEM IMO, but is very expensive unless you find one second hand Whistle

Suede wheels take a bit of looking after as the oils off your hands eventually flatten the nap, they need to be cleaned and brushed regularly. Had one on a racer we bought a few years ago.and it lasted 10 minutes in the mud and spray before it was ruined. Thumbs Up

Never had a problem with suede (usually Alcantara), although I don't have sweaty paws Mr. Green

Any if they do get a little grubby they respond well to a damp cloth.

This one has lasted 24K miles so far. Admittedly it's never been muddy Smile

I have one and they are nice - Startech
I looked what a Momo cost and then asked myself if I fancied spending the extra

In theory my Landy is a keeper so got what I liked

Mine has a Moto Lita. Fitted by a PO, but I quite like it as it matches all the Black LE factory-fit billet shiny stuff:

I had a Motolita on a mini, they're superb quality and UK made.

The Mountney ones are a lot cheaper, but boy do they feel it. I think there was an Italian firm making similar wheels too, but i forget their name, might have been Astrali or something.

These ones normally bolt straight on too;

I have a Momo Tuner.

Love it leather so it has good grip levels.

Kit, depends upon what "look" is in your mind.
But if ya're thinking any way at all "retro", then imho, ya can't go past a Moto-Lita,...absolutely classic, UK made, steering wheels,...from what I've read on this forum, 15" dished is the way to go.
