Here's new information. I just checked, the old "stock" steering wheel I have
fits my 1969 MGB. Looking at the Moss catalog I
would assume that this steering wheel is a stock one for 1968 and 1969 MGBs.
So now it looks like I'm looking for a stock, or perhaps a wood steering wheel
for an MGA.
I want to keep nearly the same size as stock. I would think at least a 15"
diameter.
