Tim, Williams do a shorter boss which will bring the wheel closer to the dash. Not sure what year yours is but worth trying them.

Your car Tim looks a similar model and year to mine (2000 4 seater) and that steering boss looks much longer then mine
It looks very nice in machined ali, by the looks of it, but quite a bit longer

Thanks Jays & Stewart for replies. The Williams boss actually looks identical to this, so maybe it is to extend the wheel rather than shorten it. It is a very fine 2000 car I'm currently looking at, possibly to replace my M3W. Importantly, my wife can get in and out easily.

This is all very interesting.
I think I have the long boss as well - maybe that's why it feels a bit tight, even for me.
I have a leather Mota Lita.
I will take a few photos and report back...

Apparently, talking to Mike at Williams, that boss is designed to match the large hole in the indicator binnacle. There are shorter bosses, but they would leave a gap at the base. Might be a case for making a lot of swarf one day, or maybe Mota Lita have a solution.

Tim The one in your photo is the standard Motolita one that most dealers including Williams, stock. Williams also had a much slimmer boss made for them by motolita which is designed to bring the wheel closer to the dash and with a flange which hides the ugly gap on the later column shrouds.
