Will This Fit?

(1/3) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
I've mentioned steering wheels before on here.

I saw a Metro (sorry... Rover 100) at 'small-childs' school the other day & it had an interesting looking wheel in that seems just the job

There's one on offer on E-Bay at the moment, but I'll look in the local scrappers for one




So the bottom line is, does anyone know if it will fit? (before I trawl the yards)

davidlandy:
I have seen these in defenders but am not sure which ones - they either fit the early or late ones!

Porny-Ian will probably know

bezzabsa:
series used the same boss as mini's and allegros - later rover type metros are a lot smaller boss - so may well fit

Porny:
I don't know for definate... but I agree with bezzabsa...

I know that metro steering wheels don't fit Series Land Rover because of the different splines.... but mini ones do - well mini ones fit Series Land Rovers - which have the thick type spline set up as per 300Tdi Defenders and peasent spec Td5s  (:wink: )

BTM, your Td5 should have the CSW type steering wheel (the one with the large centre bulge).   In which case you will have the thin spline set-up... but I'm not sure if that is the same number of splines as a late type Rover steering wheel.

Might be worth an email to a seller if there is any on EBay... get them to count the splines!!

Why do you want to change??  I quite like the steering wheels fitted to CSW Td5's.


In this situation, it might be case of bitting the bullet and trying it!!

Ian, I'd like a smaller diameter wheel (might be able to use the 'Disk-Lok' I have hung up in the garage as well :wink:
