I may get one of his steering wheels for my BJ8. One of the choices to make is wheel diameter. My present wheel is 16" but it is difficult to spin back and forth in a gymkana (I almost think a "necke

I have not used my BN7 in a gymkana but the wheel Mike made for me was a 15 1/2" wheel. It is definitely easier to drive with and I am very happy with the quality of the wheel. I don't know if he is

By my estimate it should require exactly 8/7.5 ths, or 16/15ths more force to turn a 15" diameter wheel vs a 16" diameter wheel. Therefore the 15" diameter wheel would require 6.67% more force tange

Oh Enlightened Ones, On the subject of steering wheel weight I have always found that Healeys with Woodrim wheels tend to exhibit more kick back than the originals. I have recently realized that one

I think the mass moment of inertia of a circular hoop (steering wheel in our case) about the turning axis is: I = m * r^2 (mass times radius squared). So, if you weigh the wheels and measure the rad

All I can tell you is that a 15 inch wheel will give you room to move your left leg and not bang your knee on the steering wheel. Much more comfortable. I don't worry about the force to turn the whee

Does the recirculating ball type steering box allow steering kickback, where as a rack an pinion system will not? I think I read that somewhere, sometime. Dave M. bored at work Interesting stuff as a

I would guess that it's due more to the shock absorber action of banjo style attachment between the hub and the wheel rim. Vrooom vrooom, John Erika the Red

My thoughts? ... I prefer the 16 inch wheel. I don't drive gymkana very often though. Instead, I drive long distances in the car. I much prefer the 16 inch diameter because it allows me to rest my wr

16" steering wheel also naturally falls between the sight line to the fuel and temperature guages. The problem with the 15" wheel, and one of the reasons why I took my 15" wheel off my BJ8, is the ri

Late to the party, as usual ! Oritt tipped me off that there was a steering wheel issue being batted around on the list. I haven't been keeping up with my reading, but just had to go see what was goi

I don't believe this has been brought up. Yes, perhaps kickback and diameter are issues in comfort, but so is rim thickness! I have what I believe is an orig Derrington wheel and the rim is probably
