MTech 1 Steering wheel.

Hello,

I'm after one of these steering wheels and there seem to be 2 types:

KBA 70073 (385mm), and
KBA 70074 (380 mm).

Apart from the wheel diameter, any difference?
I'm concerned it won't fit due to splines, etc.

Thanks,

big-left, small-right

Easiest way to check is ,a larger gap on arms in bigger version

Cool!
Will both fit? (What's this about smaller/larger splines???)
Thanks

Both fit to cars without airbag

I think its just angle of photo but smaller is nicer and you really can see the difference.

I've pmd you jona
The spline issue is there are some very rare ones from the e28 I think with a different spline to the steering column.
But the e30 has 2 sizes 385mm and 370mm.

The very rare E24 E28 type as used on pre '86 cars has a completely different 'hub' without a provision for the steering lock tang as well as different splines . The two wheels look very different when viewed from behind.
