Rushing, think Stu's got a point. I know quite a few on here, but don't know anyone with anything else than a lotus steering wheel, be it SE or the S2 Nardi wheel, & that is because of the same problem your facing !, so don't think we can help you here ?

The Lotus Elise steering wheel will fit the Elan, as my Elan had one when I bought it. The smaller diameter of the wheel makes the steering feel heavy, so luckily, the original Elan steering wheel was included in my purchase. I changed it back and it improved the steering for the better.
If you still intend to buy a new steering wheel, try for a boss for the Elise, as it may be more readily available

Just seen this "Lotus" steering wheel on Ebay.
It looks like this guy might have a boss you would need.

Nice interior, not a Lotus I recognise :wink:

Not a Lotus interior indeed. I suspect that this, like all his other parts, is a basic wheel with a snap in Lotus emblam that could BMW, Jag, or anything else he sells. I doubt it will have an adapter for the M100 steering column. Be sure to ask specifically about a kit for the M100 if anyone's planning to go this route.

That is some seriously poor Photo-shopping.

Does he realise what his target market is?

I wouldn't have thought you'd get many takers with attention to detail of that standard. :roll:

I've a feeling this isn't really being bought by a lot of Lotus owners. Perhaps the 12 year old Toyota, Honda and Isuzu crowd who thinks this is a fine example of adding a little "bling" to their interior.

P.S. as an aside, my '75 Honda Civic had one of those "sun strips" acroiss the top of the windshield that said "PORCHE" on it. I thought it was funny at the time............. :roll:
