Les Banjo Crocker Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I am having power steering fitted next month and would love to lose the original, dustbin lid size, steering wheel, my existing wheel has a centre horn push, does anyone know what other steering heel will fit, please ?

starvin marvin Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Wow! I didn't think any of those were still going! Got rid of mine a while back, because of rust, no real speed, dreadful gearbox and that heavy steering. Apart from that it was fine! But I still like the look of them.

Derek Uzzell Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Suggest you ask about this on the Classis Camper Club forum. http://classiccamperclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?sid=6a953850d40e86f3d0005e620a4fa316 I also suggest that you do not swap the steering wheel for a smaller-diameter one for a while, until you can be pretty sure the power-steering retrofit is OK and that the reduced effort merits changing the wheel. I recall driving an early-1990s Mercedes moving-van and finding the steering at parking speeds murderously heavy even with the big steering wheel. I was assured by the hire-company that the vehicle had power-steering, though I’ve never been wholly convinced that was true. If you keep the big wheel and the power-steering fails, you’ve got a better chance of the vehicle remaining drivable: if you go for a much smaller wheel and the power-steering fails, you’ll be in big trouble.
