Old steering wheel to later models?

Post by MattiR »

Hi!
Does the original plastic-wood steering wheel fit into later models like CS2 and CS0? Is the steering column similar in all models?

Thanks in advance!

Pretty sure you will need a hub adaptor.

I had to swap the entire upper steering column when I did mine.

Thanks John!
What was the reason you had to change the column? Is it too short?
