Hello -

Currently I have this and its too large, (13 inch)
Would like something I can swap to, maybe 11 or 12 inch.

Not sure if I need an adapter plate as well. 

What you got or any good suppliers to look out for.  Thanks very much

I have a 10 inch on my one and love it.  As long as the boss and wheel match it's dead easy ....Mountney  boss for VW will match 99% of their steering wheels and loads on eBay.   I got my one on eBay for a nice £10 but that was a few years ago

Despite what the horn push says that is NOT a Mountney wheel. Mountneys have six bolts, that has nine so more likely a Motalita or LeCarra wheel. It may have been fitted to a Mountney boss that's been drilled for extra holes but so check what holes are in the boss before you expect a straight swap.

The wheel measures 11 inches overall external diameter, I can put up a pic or 2 later on this evening,
I also have a boss somewhere for it and horn push.. This IS a genuine mountney...

Agreed! I was about to say the same as my Mountney has 6 screws.

Thanks for the reply. I can see now mine isn't like that..

I think I will pass thanks, been looking at some online today and quite like the look of the d style. Means I can go a little bigger and still get some leg room.

I really appreciate you getting back to me though.

Just wanted to follow up on this thread as have now got a RAID steering wheel which looks quite nice but I dont get it till next week.  Just trying to track down a boss and horn push for it or whether mine might fit as is... anyone have any thoughts on this?







Thanks in advance

Andy
