    Steering wheels

    I often see comments on steerring wheels, I hated the postion of the wheel on the first Marina based roadster I built, and set about changing the angle from straight to angled at about 45 degrees. From then on I have angled the wheel.The BMW engined roadster I built had a 17" Brookland wheel that sat in my lap (the car was built just for me to drive) To get in the car I just removed the wheel, then in two ticks I replaced it.
    I am doing the same to the latest roadster I am building but in this case the wheel is a 14" wheel. How do I do it?
    Well a Triumph 2000/2.5 upper steering column is the secret plus a quick action steering wheel kit from "Rally Design" It is a great theft deterrent as you can take your steering wheel with you and with the Triumph column you can also set the angle to suit your mood. If you buy a couple of kits you can swop wheel sizes to suit the driver.
    SIMPLES!

    I agree, the upright position looks like something from a motor boat on a seaside boating lake. Would like more detail on how to do the mod.

      Sounds like a classic article for Pitstop to me.

      1984 Marlin Roadster SWB.
      1800TC, Unleaded ported head, stage 2 cam. Ford Type 9 gearbox, Dolomite Sprint rear axle fitted with MGF disc brakes.

      The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

      Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.
