i've read about people using smaller steering wheels on their t3's, but they get in the way of seeing the various warning lights
has anyone got around this problem yet, appart from putting the standard wheel back on
i have been thinking, how easy would it be to add a second set of LED's somewhere that they can be seen

have you got power steering ? if not, have you got arms the size of arnie ?

Hmmm not sure thats true. With a standard wheel I cant see the lights. I can with my 13" Momo.

I think it depends how tall you are and your driving position...

bliddy yell tribble.do you lie down to drive

i can see my lights with my GTi wheel,
are you a short "pooh" Rob?

look over the wheel not under it!

Arms like arnie? arnie who?

the steering aint heavey, it would be if the engine was the wrong end tho..

drives the fastest milk cart in the west, oh thats ernie.

Hi Dink..Sorry to jump in, but I have a smaller steering on my bus. I have P/S so no probs. I also have my seat packed up a bit (bad back) , so I look over the wheel and can see the lights etc. Problem is cant see speedo very well. On subject, anybody know where I can get a S/Wheel recovered. the leather is showing its age, and a bit frayed round the edges. (just like its owner) I have Emaild the makers but to answer. Hope sombody can help....Thanks

I love the big steering wheel, old school bus driver style.

I want a bigger one, with a twirly wheel...

I've got a Scirocco wheel on mine.

It does obscure the LED's a bit but you get used to it no problem

btw - if fitting a Golf or Scirocco wheel you need to swap the horn ring for the one on your van wheel, and that involves carving away 4 plastic bits with a Stanley knife or similar, again no big problem.
