That would clash with my tiger skin thong :)

I think Patsy would probably appreciate it.  If she were on the list she'd more than likely think the combo would be absolutely fabulous.

I’m thinking of fitting a cover on my steering wheel but can’t decide,
Anyone else fitted one is it worth it?
Been looking at this one,
auction: #281229751784

 I have that one on my 2a and can recommend, and as said take steering wheel off and put the cover on the radiator indoors before fitting

It looks good
can I ask the source/make of the steering wheel, is it a Morris

Yes, you guessed correctly. It's an early Morris Minor wheel.

Will those fit on a splined late 2a / s3 steering column (with the nut on top)? ie is the spline the same / correct ?

That is just how mine is.
It's an old Morris Minor wheel and it fits just perfect on my Series 3 Steering column spline, which would be the same as the 2A with the nut on top, as you say.
I've had it on now for around 5 or 6 years. Never had a problem apart from the indicator cancel mechanism doesn't fit. So you have to remember to cancel the turn signal yourself.

[Porkscratching]

Interesting, I've got one of these kicking around somewhere and wondered before if it was the right spline for the land rover.
Not fussed about cancelling indicators as I've got the lucas dash switch type that you have to do yourself anyway
I must hunt it out

I like the idea of a steering cover, but think that I want to 'pad out' the steering wheel with tightly bound sugar string to give it some girth before putting a cover on. I think that will make the thin wheel a little more useable. Any thoughts.

I too would like a fatter wheel, arthritic fingers struggle on thin wheels.

I am still insure about the best way to do it.  I await your experiment with interest.

Will you get it done before leafers?

I can identify with arthritic fingers prefering a thicker steering wheel.
There was a thread some time ago (thus on the old forum) from which I picked up a recommendation for a suitable thick steering wheel cover.
I bought one in October 2017 for about £15.00, but so far have failed to fit it 100%. This cover 'stretched' over the rim, there was no need for stitching.
I have got it on far enough to be able to say the standard rim is 18-20mm in diameter, while the covered rim is 30-35mm in diameter. The variance is whether you are measuring front to back or from the outside to the inside of the rim.
It was a 'Cosmos ORBIT TRUCK Universal Leatherlook Large Steering Wheel Cover (41-43cm)'.

I have just searched on eBay and the supplier I used is no longer active. I also searched '41-43cm' and while this brings up various wheel cover adverts, they all offer the 'alca' wheel cover, which in appearance does not match mine. The same applies to search results via Google.

While I started with the best of intentions I'm afraid this mainly tells you is that the size you want is '41-43cm', and an indication as to the increase in rim diameter that can be achieved with just a single cover.
In my opinion, if you want to bulk the rim out first you are best with a lace on cover, but these do vary, in my experience on other vehicles the cheaper ones can move around the rim (not around the wheel).

Yup, provided a link in post #8.

Further to my Reply#23, I have now found the source page for the cover I bought.
The complete product range is here.
All the steering wheel covers are here, but I haven't investigated the attributes of the other ranges, outside the 'Orbit' range.

Yes, they appear to only supply to the trade, but at least you can be precise about what you want.

Not an "eBay" special, these seem to be bespoke (sic) covers.
