Bought a 15" dished Moto Lita. Unfortunately the boss is very thick, so I find the steering wheel coming far too close to me.
My left arm (lhd car) is never comfortable unless I open up the window completely. Bit cold in winter. Whistle
Now considering a 14 inch flat version.

What size are the Momo wheels?

Has anyone got a flat bottom wheel fitted? Like the Qt 14" wheel?

Cheers

Pickles, I bought it here. There is a photo on the page.

Forgot to mention, I also found the steering wheel sit uncomfortably far from the indicator stalk.
Really think a flat steering wheel would be the better option.

Momo Gotham. Offers a mix of tradition with new styling. It is a so-called 'deep dish' so absolutely can only be used with a slimline boss, oh, and if you're not a bit of a porker or have arms like Mr Tickle. Rolling with laughter

As all others have said, does take getting used to, love it now and absolutely would not revert. Super comfortable. Actually, it would arguably be my first mod on any future Defender. Thumbs Up

So, are there any happy Moto Lita users?

I really prefer the appearance over Momo, but people don't seem happy with the thickness of the boss i.e. relative position to the indicator stalks.

If so, would 14 or 15 be optimum?

Get a flat version? If I remember correctly this is from one of the forum members.

Personally I'd love the boss half as thick and keep the dished steering wheel. Unfortunately not available.

As mentioned, my Gotham is a deep-dish and I use a RDX Slimline Boss from Boltonbits. Cosy, but works. Although might get my local machinist to take another few mils off. At a stretch I can keep hands on the wheel and use wiper/indicator stalks, but to be honest I am used to just taking my hand off the wheel. No big deal... Monsieur Le Grenadier

Do you guys who have them find they give you a lot more leg room? I'm tall and would rather keep the bulkhead intact!
