I'm finding that the original 3-spoke steering wheel, beautiful as it is, is making my hands ache on long journeys. I know lots of you have made changes to your cars, have you any advice on a replacement steering wheel for my traveller which would make long journeys easier on my hands?

If you fit a smaller wheel - the steering will be heavier. If it's the thin-ness of the rim that's the problem - wear leather gloves, preferably of the string-back variety! You could of course fit a steering wheel cover - used to be v popular back in the day - proper leather one with lace up fitting of course! Not a furry pink one, please!

Steering wheel swap is very straightforward, you just need to make sure you get the correct boss.

Thanks both - will try gloves to start with - it is the thin-ness that is causing the problem, and possibly a cover. If that doesn't work, I'll swap the wheel, but I'd rather keep it as Moggie as possible.

... I won't go for pink and fluffy, it simply wouldn't go with the red interior!

Thanks again

I've changed ours for Mountney. The large steering wheels make my shoulders ache as well as hands I have a red interior and have a red suede wheel, which unfortunately they don't do any longer, but they do a black/red one.

Lou, where did you get your's? Red & black sounds good.
