Remember, the smaller the steering wheel, the heavier the steering. So don't over do it.

I've got 14" Minataurs fitted and I've got a 14" steering wheel - with an "M" in the middle of the hornpush :wink: I don't find it heavy, but noticed a definite difference when using my son's car fitted with a 12" wheel - at low speeds turning does get significantly heavier.

13 inch was the normal aftermarket size for a Minor. I have seen folk using a 10 inch, but that just makes the steering heavy. Splines are the same size as a mini (unless it's the woodruff key type - mm and series 2).
