Can I fit smaller steering wheel to 69 minor 1098 with Lucas horn type

Post by Mercmancdi »

Anyone know what smaller steering wheel I could fit to my traveller 1969 1098 cc with Lucas horn. It’s not for show it’s so I can get in out easier, don’t want anything too expensive if possible as will be keeping original. ( to go back on if ever parting so it’s original)
Any pointers as to what would suit would be great.

The horn will still work.
No real modifications required.
The horn push is replaced with one suitable for the adapter kit.
Just remove the steering wheel, fit the adapter and new horn push and all will work as it should.
Take care when removing the Morris steering wheel as it can be very tight on the splines. Leave the steering wheel retaining nut on a couple of threads so that when it does come off it does not knock you in the face.
