Hi all,

Back to steering wheels again.

Just tried to fit my replacement steering wheel into the series 1 and it =
doesn't fit!

I was told when I bought it the steering box was one from a series 2, =
this apparently being better than the original series 1 box. The =
original wheel didn't fit this so it has an old rover one. I bought a =
series 2 wheel but when I came to fit it the splined end of the column =
is too narrow.

So here's the question, the splined end of my steering column is narrow, =
about 19mm, the original (series 1) column is wider, about 23mm. The =
series 2 wheel I bought fits the wider 23mm column but not the narrow =
19mm one obviously.

So the upshot is I am very confused. Can anyone tell me what sizes these =
columns should be, series 1, series 2 and 2a and when the changes were =
made, if it's that simple???

Thanks again for any help.

Tony
