I'm contemplating changing the steering wheel for a smaller diameter (momo or similar).
Dont worry i have power steering

But does anyone know the fitting? diameter, splines, etc?

Hi Uli,

I've been in touch with a nice chap in the UK who has a very nice solution using Landrover discs and calipers, and then landrover wheels.
That makes is all a bit more affordable for spares & wheels etc.
I'll post some more info soon.

Yep, you'll notice i'm a poster in that thread. Its a DIY not a ready kit, so you would need a to find a machinist. Not a show stopper, but extra work. But i have 2 reservations, 1) It uses parts that are not easily available in Europe (ok fine for most of you guys) an 2) i'm not sure about the stud...

They did tell me they were working on a kit which retained the 8 bolt pattern, but that it would be around 1200 Eur per axle as they have to manufacture new hubs rather than machine original ones.

I'm investigating another solution from Off Toad Tarvike in Finland. They have a kit using Willwood discs and calipers, and conveting to Toyota 6 bolt pattern, by suppling a modified original hub. 800 Eur per axle. (wheels not included) They have to use weld in toyota rims to get the correct offset,...

Hi, thanks for the suggestions.

Vince - which Ford part did you use? Do you have pictures / part nos?

Hafwit - any links to generic one?

I note that a few owners have change the fuel filler to a Jeep one. But being over the other side of the pond i'm having trouble sourcing the parts. So, I was wondering if theres a nice guy over there somewhere who could get me the bits and send them for a few beers? Ideally i'd like a Diesel filler...
