Evening all, I wondered if anyone could help me identify the steering wheel in this YouTube clip? The car seems to be an MMC demo car and the wheel is slightly smaller than stock with a flat bottom. It looks like it may offer a welcome extra inch or two of leg room without looking too modern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19JJ15xwZuIThanks

It looks very similar to the one being fitted to the P101's. Try MMC direct ? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/04/12/IMG_6018.md.jpg)

It's possibly a Superspoke wheel http://www.superspoke.co.uk/However I don't think they do steering wheels any more. A steering wheel spacer helps enormously with the legroom, I use a 1" spacer and a Moto-Lita 13" steering wheel (the standard is 14"). At 6 ft this allows me to get my left foot flat on the floor. Moto-Lita have a couple of standard 14" wheels for the M3W but I had a custom 13" one made (which bizarrely worked out cheaper!). https://www.moto-lita.co.uk/

Thanks both. It does look a lot like the 101 wheel so I’ll enquire with my dealer. I hear a lot about spacers but have no idea where to buy one. Any pointers on that would also be very welcome.

There have been various posts on steering wheel spacers - recall Demon Tweaks have an option that works - we made our own from a lump of aluminium and decent longer bolts

Krazy Horse also do a selection of nicely machined spacers - in my case a 2" anodised in black - which work very well and come with the requisite bolts.

Hi, if you look for a smaller steering wheel with a flatter bottom, try the wheels from Morgan Park: https://www.morganpark.de/holzlenkraeder/I have one and I am very happy with it, much more room for legs and belly Achim

Many thanks all, I spoke to the factory and they are able to source one for me. I'll see whether I need an additional spacer once it is fitted.

New steering wheel installed now. Works great giving a little extra leg room. [img] https://ibb.co/VCZZZMC[/img]
