robin craig Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Was this steering wheel common to any other Land Rover if so what? R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucie Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Maybe a picture of the said strg wheel might help people as maybe not everyone has not seen a 101FC strg wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivor Ramsden Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 So far as I know the 101 wheel is unique. It might have been fitted to a couple of oddball prototype Land-Rovers but it wasn't fitted to any other mainstream types. I've never seen any reference to it being fitted to any other make of vehicle either, which is a bit surprising because a lot of Land-Rover stuff in the 70s came from the same parts bin as other British Leyland group vehicles. Actually, to be more accurate, in the 70s it was mainly Range Rover bits that came from the Leyland parts bin because most of the bits on Land Rovers were the same as had been fitted since before Rover became part of BL! Such was the desperate lack of product development at the time. The 101 shared many of its engine and transmission bits with Range Rover and other bits were LR series 3, but not the steering wheel. If you need a wheel, they turn up on ebay occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.303fan Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 a lot was specific for the 101. axles wider and heavy , salisbury front too. steering column just for the 101. the steering wheel a lot flatter then the regular series ones. as a guess, you are in need of one? or planning to put another steering wheel in for more leg space? i can take pictures of the ex ifor 101 in the drive :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Thank you very much for all the replies. Yes I am in need of one, eventually, will start with the usual suspects. Just dreading what I will find when I take off what has been fitted as a substitute R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.303fan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 you might want to join up with this lot :-) http://www.101club.org/ it gives access to fun, tech via forum and parts. cheers, Arjan (my dad has a 101fc, i got a 101fc and my (in 15 days) wife has a 101fc.) shall i measure and count splines to see if a series3 wheel fits so you can steer if needed?

robin craig Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Arjan, no need to count the splines, it already has a series wheel in place and is driveable like that right now, just a bit tight for the ample figured ones among us. I know all about EMLRA and 101 club etc, too many clubs to be a member of everything at once R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
