[Healeys] Wood Steering wheel

[Gaagten]

Hello list,
I consider to install a wood steering wheel from Lempert. I have the original
A-H BJ8 wheel, from which I think the diameter is 16.5 inch.
However I have very limited space between steering wheel and leg. What would
be the best diameter to order, 15 inch would give much heavier steering. Is
this correct.?

Thanks for yr input.
