Steering Wheel fittment
Eh up, I've got one of those fitted to our 1986 1.9 dg engined camper, which I picked up at Tatton Park for 4 quid (including the tell tail spacer).
Mr Sukhoi said at the time it would obscure the clocks/idiot lights, which it does but I'm happy coz it is far better than the standard steering wheel, a little heavy at slow speed but c'est la vi.
The trick is to cut the supplied spacer in half and then line it up to make sure the indicators cancel before the wheel is fitted.
Also you will need to bend the horn pick up so that it touches the ring on the back of the wheel if you want it to work as it should.
Regards

Heres it is fitted to our van.
