1800: - Steering Wheel - 1800E

Hi.
EZ power steering now fitted so I'm thinking of replacing my tatty original 16" wheel with something an inch or two diameter smaller.
Something in keeping with of course and so any advice anyone's got I'd welcome, brands, aesthetics, fitting kits/bosses/adapters etc.
Horn push.
Thank you.
David.

Not going to give you much help, but I remember putting power steering on my Jensen CV8 and it was great fun looking for a suitable steering wheel!

How are you finding the EZ? I'd love easier parking, but the non assisted steering does give great feedback in the twisties. I'm genuinely surprised at how sporty the steering feels on my 1800E and would be loathe to lose that.

Hi Sleek.
Can't give a road test yet as I still haven't driven it, but I'm getting there.
The EZ system is adjustable I'm told.
I do clearly remember tying to park the thing 38 years ago and needing 2 hands on one side of the wheel, there could have been other issues causing that of course.
I went for a Moto Lita 15" mark 4 dished in black, with all the bits that came to £340.
Got my tyres from Longstone last week.
David.
