If you've ever bashed your elbow into the door while in a tight manuever you already know why I'd go with a smaller wheel. Besides, that "bus" wheel was only put in there to overcome the lame stock steering. Would you use an eight pound sledge to drive a finish nail?
i would

You be thankful for the "bus" wheel if you ever loose power on a down hill.

[/quote]I, personally, don't see how you could loose power on a downhill unless you panic and push the wrong pedal. Don't push the clutch. Even if you turned off your ignition, if you are still moving, you have power steering until you stop moving. If you aren't moving your steering isnt much of a concern.

If you can use Toyota splined steering wheels, the one from an old mini truck is smaller and looks right.

citabria,
I see you put in a ididit steering column. How do you like it? What length did you get? Which one did you get, aluminum or steel? Did you get one with the keyed ignition in the column (which I know they were working on, but wasn't available yet when I talked to them a few months ago).
I am pretty sure I'm going to use one of there columns, curious as to what you thought and how the install went? If you have any pics I would love to see them.
Thanks, Matt
