  2. I fitted a wooden one 5 years ago ( birthday present) and use a disclock (large size). The disclock is not big enough to fit the standard steering wheel

    I think you need to buy the version for 4x4s and airbags. I think I have the box somewhere if anyone needs a pic.

    I've got an Alexandertech steering wheel. Its fine. I'm sure it's not as "good" as an MCJ but then it's not £300 either!
     
  6. One of these would probably work in the short term.

    A Brazilian wheel is a straight swap - no modifications required. But if some scrote wants your bus he’ll take it, Disklok or not.

    The wooden ones are no more or less comfortable than an originals.

    I wrapped my stock steering wheel in crepe bandage before lacing one of those cheap leather look covers on it. Very comfy and looks fine. It's black.
     
  12. Same black hands on mine - I got a leather cover from eBay (cut for a T2) and it was fab. Had another for a different car and they're really good.

    Snap. I did that with the one that is now on my “might need 1 day” pile.

  14. Why is the seller away till Oct 2020? Locked up?
     
  15. I fitted a genuine leather cover to mine many years ago which improved comfort no end. Can't remember the make but I got it from eBay, may have been 'Wheel skins' or similar, pretty sure it was from the US. I remember there being many options re girth and circumference and not many manufactures at the time offered anything which would fit the standard bay wheel. Very happy with mine, a great fit, cool and grippy in the heat of summer, warm to the touch in winter.

    I bought one of those cheap eBay lace on plastic wheel covers like @Baysearcher when my leather cover started going sticky in damp weather.

    I do have a stock late late straight spline steering wheel with a cracked hub kicking around. Bought it off a charity stand at a swapmeet on the off chance it might fit, dont need it.
     
  17. I think mine was Custom Steering on ebay, UK based- they look like a factory covering when stitched up:thumbsup:
