Vee steering wheel

[2Dogs]

I'm looking for a small steering wheel, anyone have any good sources? Pegasus racing has a 260mm wheel, but I'd like a little smaller if I can find it, and I want a round wheel. No flat bottom.
If not, I can live with the 260mm wheel. I've seen cars that look like they have smaller though.

Make one?
My car came with a 'custom' made wheel... probably 7.75-8 inches (~200mm), I believe its cut from diamond plate, with a garden hose wrapped around the circumference. It's not a perfect solution, but it gives me more room than the 260mm wheel that also came with it.

Hmm, I do have a friend with a water jet...

It's a thought.

You DO realize that racing steering wheels are designed to flex/bend/break at a specific load...like if it hits you from an impact ?
Me, myself...I wouldn't play around with a home-made metal wheel...unless you can do the engineering.
Jus' my $.02 worth.

That's understandable (and an acceptable concern)... But, I'd rather have the ability to catch and save a possible spin instead of backing the car into a wall, or end up sideways on track.

Furthermore, in my case. The homemade wheel seems to have more flex than the purchased wheel.

A question or two:

Why do you need a smaller wheel?
Why must it be round?

If you need a smaller wheel for ease of access, a flat bottom works rather well. Since you would rarely turn the wheel enough to have the bottom up at the top, the flat really makes no difference, IMO.
