short or long steering wheel hub adapter?

[SHShockley]

I'm going to replace the steering wheel on my '82 SC because of a broken spoke. I've pretty much decided on a Momo Prototipo 350mm wheel, which I gather has a 39mm dish.

My question is should I use a short or long hub adapter to position the wheel in approximately the same location (relative to the driver) as the stock wheel?

Thanks,
Steve

That depends on a lot of things...
-How tall you are
-What typical driving position you prefer
-What kind of driving you do
-For how long you stay behind the wheel

Etc Etc

I'm 6'4", and for nearly all cars I have the seat as far back as possible. And with nearly all cars the steering wheel is too far away.

Coming from a track driving environment, I would like the steering wheel to be as close as possible. Driving with the arms stretched out causes premature fatigue and sore shoulders. Just imagine holding a pair of weights with your arms stretched out, and then with your elbows in a 90 degree position. Obviously the closer you hold the weights, the longer you can hold them without fatigue.

Typically the recommended driving position is both your shoulder blades firmly back on the seat, and elbows around 90 degrees when your hands are on the 9 and 3 (o'clock) position on the steering wheel. So depending on how far back you have the backrest and the seat, and how long your arms are, you might need an extended hub.
