What diameter is the star tech? Is it a little smaller than stock?

The Startech is 14"/360mm of pure loveliness! James

Hi a classic Mini steering wheel has the correct 48 spline and with a bit of work can be used to cancel indicators too. They can be picked up from eBay and scrapyards for a few quid. With the application of a small Land Rover badge I think they look good as a budget option.

This style , of course I think the Startech are lovely but they are very expensive, they are a quality item though. Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |

I like them as it looks like it fits with the rest of the interior, any guide on how to apply the indicators? Mine doesn't cancel when I turn the well anyway at the moment! 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW 1956 Series 1 Hard-top 1958 Series 1 Soft-top Last edited by Kit on 28th May 2017 3:30pm. Edited 1 time in total |

I'll whip it off and have a look at what modification I did to make them cancel. I like these for the Td5 interior for sure as they do look factory . I think startech for the Puma interior though.

Ours have various raid ones but I am very partial to the startech. I keep dropping hints but the have landed yet. I have always thought that a lot of the momo ones look like they should be on novas with stick on flames on the side and loud music blaring. But it is definitely a matter of personal taste.

I linked to one of those further up, I think you'll be lucky to find one "for a few quid in a scrap yard" these days, it used to be the case, not anymore though. They are good wheels, about 14" if I recall correctly. I think for the indicators the mini one you had to chop the lug off the back and put a couple of screws in to it to make the self cancel work. I've had a few of them on minis and remember fitting on on a Series 3 years ago. Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |

Another vote for the startech, suits the interior and is not blingy..
Lovely to hold and although I got lucky on mine second hand almost new I think given it transforms the way the car feels to drive even at £400 + it would have been done Click image to enlarge imho some of the aftermarket ones look a bit max power.. |

Sparco and OMP do nice wheels too from £100 - £250ish
Momo Nero is nice, mainly leather with alcantara inserts |

well documented on D2N... the Startech is for me one of the best mods' (IMO)...
one I would not wish to be without now...combined with a quick release boss system it just feels right on (and off) the vehicle... Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge SKIP https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic83242.html |

That is a lovely set up!
One thing to keep in mind when fitting a vinyl or leather steering wheel is, summer time it will be red hot, winter time it will be ice cold. It's the main reason I chose an alcantara/suede one. If your concern is the material fading, it took about 3 years for it to start to wear off on my 90 and it was in my mates track car for 3 years prior to that! |
