[TR] Is the 13" steering wheel too small?

[Ian]

I just put a 14" wooden wheel on my TR4, which has 185 tires and Miata seats
(modified with a slightly lower front seat mount for clearance).  I really
like it, although visually I am glad that I didn't go smaller - just my
opinion.  I think that the 14 is a good balance between low speed
practicality and high speed responsiveness (like night vs. day compared to
the original).  I have also noticed that the feedback is greatly increased,
but that the wheel is more susceptible to being pulled out of your hands due
to poor road surfaces.

Is the 13" steering wheel too small or does it look and drive fine?  Does
anyone have any experience with the wooden 13 inch steering wheel on a TR6?
