Buy a Rover turn signal & hook the horn wire to the headlite dimmer switch,
and never sweat a pot-metal horn ring again. BTW is there anyone over 6" tall
who can fit his legs under that stock wheel? It's big enough to fit a school
bus, & certain to cut off circulation in both legs. Spend a few bucks & get a
Moto-Lita.

Or convert to the MK1A steering column support brackets which
position the column and wheel higher.

I am 6'3" and I can fit under the stock wheel. I do have to spread my
legs a little (ok, no comments here) but I do fit. On a drive over about
an hour and a half my knee will be sore from the bending moment applied
while the joint is sideways.

I'm 5'8" & not the svelte self I was in my 20's. I like having my seat
adjusted with the back down on the lowest setting. ( Did TIGERS come
with adjustable seats?)

If I put the seat up where my wife can drive it, it feels like I'm
a crash-test dummy. Knees & everything else is contorted/sore in 15
minutes, so back down goes the seat.

I have a Moto-Lita...looks great & came with the car. Doesn't require
any extra reach...was the larger stock wheel added to compensate for
the "harder" steering and turning effort required on TIGER's?

Hey, remember the "low-rider" 6" diameter chrome-chain steering
wheels? Don't see many around..did the law get them off the street or
did they all crash 'cause they were so hard to drive? Parallel parking
musta' been fun. They should be one of the stations at Gold's Gym.

Bet at least half the foam in your front seat has turned to powder and/or the
strapping is broken or sagging or you wouldn't fit. Al J.

How did you know?
Ok, so that may be obvious, I do sit "on the floor" while in the car.
