Correct me if I'm wrong, but the spacers do the opposite: they move the steering wheel away from the dashboard.

There are two reasons to do so:

A) you have short arms, and as the seats can't move forward, you need the steering wheel to get closer to you.


B) you are tall so have long legs, and want to rest the left leg while driving bending the knee high so you can "flat your foot". And you can't because the steering wheel is too close to the dashboard so you don't have room for the knee to come up.

For Bonesie, at 1.95m (6' 5" in old money) I am comfortable in our M3W mainly because we have a 50mm spacer behind the wheel...and we have met other tall people who seem successful by this means. This successful group does not include our 2.1m son who has no chance! …. in contemplating his eventual inheritance, he has thoughts on re-engineering the steering column location.....). Do recognise though that the floor mounted pedals do create some extra awkwardness and the driving position is certainly narrow.

Although not in Peter's target response group - we have had ours since early 2012 and having nursed it and ourselves through all the various trials and tribulations (n.b. we have always got home) we have no intention of parting company … however, not sure if I would buy new today - the EU4-led changes are not attractive and regulations to come may make matters worse - if you want one, I'd suggest you buy a well-sorted, well cared one from 2014-2016.

Some people have come to these from bikes and thus are used to the limitations in comfort and weather exposure in exchange for the raw motoring experience - we liken it to a rearranged bike and sidecar. We were not bikers but saw ours as a fun replacement for cat sailing which became too risky for worn knees.

Has anyone found a steering wheel spacer for the 4-bolt Brooklands steering wheel?

I've seen it asked before here in multiple threads, but could not find an answer.

I dont know how you guys get on with M3Ws.

Id love to own one, love the styling etc. However, having sat in one recently there is just no way I could drive it. My knees were forcibly pressed up against the steering wheel ( because there is no room to spread your legs as they are in a 'tunnel' ) my feet bent back on the pedals and my back was too upright.

Im only 6 ft so not a ginormous beast by any stretch. Are they all like that ? Added to that they seem to be perpetually breaking down ! These factors maybe explain why there are so many low millage ones on the market ? After the magic wears off.

But, If I had the cash id probably get one and have it modified or my legs shortened by 12 inches.
