#1 Les Leston Steering wheel

Post by nefematic » Sun Jun 19, 2016 8:08 pm

I've aquired an old Les Leston steering wheel, without boss and Horn push. Wood rim and hole design are very similar to the original, it seems a bit stiffer than the original. Is anybody using one on a S2 and what boss would I need to look for?

Hi Martin.....there are a lot of different Les Leston wheels....are the fixing holes the same on nearly the same as your original.....very limited choice for an e type boss as far as i know either the standard type or the mota lita e type boss fit the standard mota lita wheel......you may need to re drill you new wheel or boss....posting a photo may helpy

Hi Martin.....do you already have a standard e type boss.......looking at your wheel you will have to modify it or the boss.....there is a boss with adaptor fittings that may work..from Netherlands...have a look
