Hey all,
My BJ40 original wheel is a bit big when coupled with the Cressida seats (cert'ed) makes it quite tricky for my scrawny legs to get in...
Anyhow - suggestions for different wheels most appreciated.
Oh - have power steering so wont be too much of a workout.
Cheers

I think you'll probably find most toyota stuff is splinned the same, I ran into a simular problem with the steering wheel scraping accross my nuts with my 40 series seats and stuck a 2000 ish corolla steering wheel on, bolted straight on and was easy to line the striker up to keep the horn working

Legend - cheers Sadam.
I hoped that might have been the case. I know for my old Zuk I slid a Wagon R wheel on perfectly.

What saddam said is correct the toy splints are pretty much all the same an I used a wheel very simiar to the one on saddams 40 on my old 40, cost me $15 from pick a part.
only thing I noticed was that when pedaling it thru the rough stuff my arms would always hit the large horn button so try find a wheel with smaller horn buttons, used to annoy me beeping the horn all the time

I must have picked one of the steering wheels with the extra heavy duty horn springs coz you just about need both hands to get my horn to work

New wheel fitted tonight - no auto off for the indicators - will see about that maybe later.
Got a wheel off a Toyota Windom - free too. The car is a wreck that our fire guys at work use for practice.
Best of all - it has leather!! Flash as ....

I just replaced my 40 series wheel with a MOMO off TM for $45 and it was advertised as a Toyota Corolla wheel. Sooooo much better, I used to crank the wheel quite quick while doing some fast and heavy off roading and my long sleeve rain coat used to end up unclipping the 4 point race harness just as it got hairy...................not cool.
