    Steering wheel hub

    Is the Marina hub the same as any other BMC? Reason for asking is that the one on my car isn't great, and as I sell such things as wheels it would be nice to have one of my ones!

    A classic Mini steering hub is likely to fit on the column splines. Using a Mountney steering wheel

      Have a look at Astali steering wheels. I think they look nicer. Made up with mine.

        I am wondering if either of you, Ye Old Ripper and Gareth read my post!
        My company sells steering wheels so I want to use my own!

            You mentioned "Wheels"but not "steering wheels" above, perhaps that is where the confusion lies?

              I don't think I would put road wheels on a steering wheel hub that is what the post is

                To answer your question rhysnolan, yes. It's the same boss for the Allegro, Maxi, Maestro, Mini, Austin/Morris 1100/1300 and AH Sprite Mk 3&4. NOT MG Midget though; they're different.

                  Not questioning your knowledge Jon , but how /in what way is Midget different from Sprite? Just interested for maybe future reference.

                    Don't remember exactly but I had an old midget hub and it wouldn't fit the Roadster. Thinking about it though it was a late mk3 and I think they changed to a Triumph rack so the earlier ones could well have been the same as the Sprite.
