My '77 has a square hole where the steering wheel connects to the steering
shaft. I believe that it's been discussed before on the list that this is
different than the earlier models. Don't know about the '78 - '80 models.
Thanks,

Hi Jeff,
You wrote,
"I'm selling an aftermarket leather
steering wheel I pulled from my '67 Mk3 on The Totally Triumph Auction and
I've received a couple of e-mails asking whether it will fit later model
Spitfires. I'm assuming that the hubs on all Spitfire models were
interchangeable. Am I correct or in error?"
The 62-76 Spits and all GT6's will interchange for sure. 77 and up I'm not
sure, as the upper steering column became part of a NSS (Not serviced
separately) unit and also the retaining nut changed numbers. They look
similar, but I haven't removed one.
