Hi
I'm considering a larger steering wheel for my 420 to replace my standard 260mm momo
is anyone local (Sussex/Surrey) running a 280 or larger for me to sit in and check leg room before I buy.
also looking at spacer to bring wheel closer - has anyone done this - what spacer did you use
thanks
Just swopped my MOD26 260mm for a MOD27 flat bottomed wheel, only 10mm bigger but does have a nicer feel and affords better view of my shift lights too.
Regarding a spacer it's not necessary, just loosen the upper-lower column clamp, adjust it to where you need it and re-tighten.

I swapped my 260 for a 280 and much prefer it. Feels more comfortable and more control. Still got plenty of knee room, but mine is an SV.
BTW, I'm based in Guildford, Surrey.

I run a suede 290mm wheel and quick rack, for me it's perfect, I do have lowered floors too so knee room is ok.
If you can't find one this way how about:
• Turning up with a tape measure somewhere with lots of Sevens and lots of goodwill... a Club Area Meeting or a Seven specialist garage?
• Making a life-size replica out of ? cardboard?

PS: How Moto-Lita measure steering wheels.
I went for a larger wheel and got a moto-lita spacer from eBay to give me a bit more clearance for the old knees. Another option is a wheel with dished spokes, or a combination of the two
Thank for input everyone - very handy
