What have you done to extend your original steering wheel for better position?
 

I´ve got a 911 SC built in 1982 and I like the original steering wheel. What I not like is the actual seat position. If you are over 6 feet high you have to stretch your arms very much.

I know there is an original steering wheel with a spacer (M018) but there is no chance to get one. The last one in Ebay was sold for nearly 1.000 $.:confused:

How have you solved this problem? Do you use some handmade spacer and how do you made them?

Thanks for your responds and best regards.

You can find 6-hole spacer/adapters all over the Internet. I bought the J-West offset adapter (sold here on PP) which extends and raises the steering wheel. Recommended.

Here's a thread showing the spacer at the base of the column:

I'm 6'2", added 1.25" wheel hub spacer (tough to see but it's there) and the deep dish momo. The car fits me as intended, perfectly.

Recently drove a friends '83 and I forgot how much I missed crushing my knuckles:rolleyes: into the windscreen

JWest spacer paired to a 3" spacer. At 6'5" this gives me an amazing driving position.

Thanks a lot for your replays.

Charles, your solution is very interesting also the link. I´m not sure I think there are two possibilities:

1) I copy Charles solution
2) I cut the original fastener and welding a spacer between the fastener and the steering wheel

The other solutions like JWest spacer are only for aftermarked steering wheels, isn´t it?

Pretty sure it is only for Momo wheels.

At 6'3". I use a 2" spacer and flat dished Momo wheel.

Ergonomics make the car great.

The problem is that once you move the wheel you will want to move the shifter...

The factory extended wheel doesn't really command more on the market.

They are fairly common, too.

You'll find one for $150-$200 if you look around a little and give it a little time.
