Mike, I tried the Moss supplied Tourist Trophy wooden steering wheels, both
the thin one and the thicker one. They fitted great and looked nice and other
than a different design for the horn push they presented no installation
issues. I still have these steering wheels gathering dust in the basement,
removed because at 14 inches they were just too big for my taste and I
replaced them with a 13 inch Mountney vinyl wheel which I really like. If
money was no object I would get a 13 inch Moto Lita leather job as they are
just better finished than the Mountney wheels but cost 2 or 3 times as much (I
paid around $70 for the Mountney wheel and hub).

With Nylatron all round, stiffer springs, adjustable shocks, GP front and rear
sway bars, modified engine and the 13 inch steering wheel it drives like a go
kart, lots of fun..

I'm having a minor case of shipwright's disease as I'm refurbishing my
interior.  I am thinking about replacing my stock TR6 steering wheel
with a wood.  For those of you that have purchased aftermarket wood
wheels, what brands (Moto Lita, Nardi, Mountney, etc) and models did you
select?  Did you go with flat or dished?   I'm not very big so needing
more room is not an issue.  Did you have any problems with how they fit
or difficulty installing them?  Are you satisfied with what you have?
Has it held up well?  Any information you could share would be
appreciated.  Pictures would be great too.
