Hi John,
There are alternatives to the stock steering wheel, but all comes down to the almighty dollar. You may be able to find a reconditioned steering wheel on Ebay or through clubs, but be prepared to get into a bidding war on Ebay. Mota-Lita have some beautiful steering wheels available, but you pay high prices for them and the other is Mountney (UK). Mountney look nice, but don’t come close to Mota-Lita. Both have the steering boss for the Tiger’s.
Regards, Robin.

quote heff123:My steering wheel is in pretty bad shape. Are there any alternatives available and sources for a Mk1A? There seems to be an issue with the availability of the hub. Thanks
JohnJohn, the Moto-Lita is a nice wheel for the Tiger with a quality look about it. I like the leather 14 in but wood rims look good too.
The proper hubs are expensive, as they are not plentiful, but I have a good tip to save some money if you dont mind a bit of work: Use a Ford Cortina hub type B18 which are plentiful (I have a couple!) and have the correct splines. They are slightly shorter though, and the adjuster will protrude about 10mm from the hub unless you fabricate a shorter adjuster (as I have done).
