Pat,
A Triumph Spitfire steering wheel of similar year looks almost identical to=
the TR4 steering wheel but measures about 15". I've seen a few over the ye=
ars on eBay mistakenly labelled - they are so close. Some folks have told m=
e dealers would swap in a Spit wheel into a TR4 for their taller customers.=
I used a Spitfire wheel on my TR4 for a few years but didn't really like t=
he reduced leverage - made the steering feel harder to operate and it's sli=
ghtly less robust a steering wheel than the TR version.=A0
You might consider checking if you could lower the seats a little more than=
the factory allowance..
As I restore my car I'm going to make sure the steering column is bolted up=
'as high as possible'.
Regards,
Carl
'63 TR4 since '74
