I just installed the late 944 steering wheel which I received from Chitown944. The wheel sticks out torwards the driver (me) about 1 1/2" - 2" more and the wheel is about 1" smaller in diameter. All this results in a wheel which is now closer to me and allows about 1 1/2" more leg room between the top of my knees and the bottom of the wheel.


Here is a pic of the clearance. keep in mind I am 6'3" and my knees almost touched the old steering wheel.



I did have to modify the black plastic piece on the back of the steering wheel. This black part has the mtal ring in it for the horn and a tall tab which I think operates the self canceling turn signal. I had to modify the tab height from 0.900" to 0.675" so It matched the old steering wheel. The black plastic part can not be swaped out because of where the wire for the horn is located. Take notice of the tall tab. This is what was modified.



For those bigger guys out there who has issues with steering wheel clearances this is an option to increase this clearance.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks again chitown944!
