Thanks for the replies about ".. whipping back-forth-back-forth.." and that the stage 3 rebuild would/should be OK. My steering wheel that I've settled on (about 15 years ago) is 11.5" diameter.. the old 14" Tuff wheel was too big, then i tried a 10" Grant (deep dish.. was extremely faster but too much hands crossing over each other/interference... the 11.5" Superior brand wheel is perfect for competition autocross, as well as road course lapping events (it does partially cross over the speedometer and tach, but you get used to that... the mph isn't any concern, and the rpms you learn to "listen" to the engine, and rev-limiter also assures not over-revving).
