I have a Series IIa 109 SW, 1964. It has the later/dished plastic wheel(not the early/flat/banjo type).
I understand I can't adapt the 'banjo' wheel for some reason. Is it simply the spline count? or some other reason. Any reason I couldn't use a J--p Ch----ee steering wheel? 3 spoke,leather cover,flatter? Most cars have a 3/4" tapered end shaft for steering. Is Rover so much different? Assume none of the 'hot rod' type adaptors will work if the J--p wheel won't?
You see, I'm too porky to drive my truck whose seat does NOT adjust. 6' tall, 230 lbs, gut hits current wheel. Hep me! I will not exercise any more than I am now!!! Not an option. Leno is on my case every night. It won't offend me to weld the wheel to the shaft if I have to. I need a 15" or larger wheel, 3 spoke, flat or shallow dish. Nardi is TOO $$$$. Any ideas?
I'm goin' nuts on ebay, seeing all the possibilities that may not work.
