“I wondered if it was to allow more room for the occupant behind the wheel. It that was the case it cant be for Terry, not with his trim figure.”
Bob, it wasn’t part of the plan, it wasn’t a certainty, and it rather took me by surprise, but having exceeded my three score years and ten those days of svelte grace have alas passed, along with my miss-spent youth. ( If anyone finds my miss or my spent youth, please direct them home to me. Likewise svelte grace – I haven’t seen her for ages.) These days I am in good shape…. Round is a good shape, innit ?
“if Nobel wheels are hard to find you can look for a Bruetsch one.”
Richard, thank you for your suggestion – now why didn’t I think of that ? Is the wheel pictured available ? Is it the keyed centre hub ?
“Another source of lucrative funds gone, selling smaller steering wheels to tubby bubbly bubbs.”
Aloysius, don’t look upon it as a source gone, - look upon it as a new market discovered.
“Will 1 inch really make that much difference”
Aixam, what are Mrs Aixam’s views on that ?
Terry ( still looking for a 14" Nobel ( / Fulda ? ) steering wheel. )
