Oh well, it was worth a try.
Go look in the "Members Only" forum - but don't reply to the topic - that way I can delete it again later.

Hi guys.
For what it is worth a Hillman Imp boss fits our cars(well certainly the later non adjustable column). I had a wooden mountney on my Singer Vogue but Mike has borrowed it for his H120(VRC)now. I would think that the splines are almost certainly the same on the adjustable column,which is what i have on NAD. And i wouldn't recommend any smaller than a 13" wheel or yes you will end up with arms like ARNIE.
HAPPY BEAMING

Just to show the new wheel complete with boss (thanks Derek) in the car - i love it.
all i need to do now is change the centre thing or at least the logo.

im hoping to find a way of fitting the centre piece from my old wheel in.







yeah i agree, the car really does need a clean

Cheers

Be interested to know just how it feels and drives bearing in mind that yours has been lowered and is running on low profile tyres.... same as mine Martin. Let me know after you've taken her for a spin!
