Well, some of you may remember the thread about putting a smaller steering wheel on my bus... I'm happy to say I got it done (thanks to Richard for the link to the new wheel & hub adapter!) Here is a pic:
The new wheel is about 12", compared to approx. 18" for the stock steering wheel. The bus is now MUCH more comfortable for me to drive, although it did feel odd at first - kinda like I was driving a go-cart.  I was concerned that it would be a lot more work at slow speeds (I even bought a "suicide knob" for the wheel just in case) but it doesn't seem to be any worse at all. It does block my gauges a little, but nothing major (and not a big concern since the bus completley lacks the ability to speed, even if I wanted to...)
