i have this fitted on my othre mini

was great to drive with, and i didnt find any problems with manouvering. but then again im a big chap :)

bear in mind, the ew mountney bosses do not fit this, only old ones for some strange reason.

got a new mountney boss on my current mini and an old one with the 10" wheel on the other. i couldnt swap the wheels over unless i swapped the bosses too

it might do, dont take my work for it. its just what happened with mine. the holes were about 3-4mm out of place. may have been a one off.

if it doesnt fit, i imagen you could always send it back?

I have the same steering wheel which i thought was small enough, but yours is smaller so i guess mine is 12"..

On 13" x 7" its not easy to turn whilst manouvering but not stupidly difficult either..

It will be fine. You may just find it hard to park.

big mug shot there!

I have this fitted with 10x6's and its fine! Great fun to drive with, even better if you have a quickrack, truly go-kart like... and everyone will comment on it! Good fun, mines was a daily driver too, your arms will soon buff up if not already :)

I got a mountney boss from ebay, brand new and it fitted mine okay?

Slam it on and take care!

Any one know if Mountney still produce the 10" classic steering wheels, or is it gonna have to be an E-bay buy.

I bought a 10 inch Astrali wheel from the auto jumble at Himley; it polished up really well :)

Back to the question though, I don't think you can buy them anymore (at least from the more well know mini shops). I'd keep an eye on ebay and perhaps uttoxeter if you can wait that long :thumbsup:
