It's center of the wheel on Peter's Sprite. 65-67 are all identicle.
68- somewhere in 70 was all stalk mounted and the steering wheel looked 
the same but had a smaller (5/8") hub.
what I have gathered is side curtain cars all used the same wheel and 
center mounted horn button.
65-67 was 3/4" spline, banjo steering wheel and larger center mount horn 
button.
68-70 (BL onset) went to a stalk mounted horn but with a similar banjo 
steering wheel only no horn, not adaptable for a horn, and 5/8 spline so 
it will not interchange with a 65-67 wheel.
71 on was a whole bunch of different wheels but with the horn back in 
the center. holes, slots, no holes or slots all so you couldn't get your 
finger stuck in the steering wheel, this was the begining of the dumbing 
down of the world. Make everything idiot proof.
Later RB Midgets I don't know about.
