Can someone kindly advise whether an elise s2 steering wheel will directly replace original elan s1 wheel?
Also will the horn work?
Please excuse my ignorance!
If not what replacement wheels will fit?
Many thanks.

Yes, its a direct fit, you do need to grind or file down the auto cancel nub from the Elise hub though, Horn also works.

Great thanks for info.
Do you know if it is the same diameter or smaller? ( the wheel itself )

Didn't need to grind anything down.
The Elise wheel is smaller.
91 Lotus Elan SE Turbo
03 MG TF 135 Sprint (Partner's)
07 Alfa Spider 939
If you can't be a good example, then you might as well be a terrible warning

I sure did, could be that it was replacing the airbag wheel, which you don't have ? (I will post a pic once the site accepts them again)

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a leather wheel cover that would fit the 12" rim just to make the wheel feel a little thicker-
I have had no luck finding one that size, or possibly a leather wrap?
Any advice gladly received!
You have a PM.
