Default wooden riveted replacement steering wheel

I have a 1989 XJS (no air bag). I want to replace the OE steering wheel with a wooden one. How difficult is this procedure? Is a steering wheel exchange reliable? The OE steering wheel is VERY close to the wiper and blinker stems - is there an extension for the column? Thanks for any suggestions !!!

Hello Marty

Very recent post about the steering wheel

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...t-knob-228498/

Mine is a bit different has an aftermarket wheel with a central horn button. As the warning goes - undo the central nut but don't remove it completely and give the wheel a tug, should then pop off.

On some of the other cars I have had - I have had to use a puller to get the wheel off

Welcome to the forum - and you need to post some pictures of your toy

Cheers
Steve

Great idea. The Motolita wheel is lovely and fits perfectly:
