Just be aware of the change in horn button location and the different column shroud.

Thanks, I bought a astrali wheel on fleabay this week and it is too small in the splines, if I mic the splines on my Aus min they are 19mm whereas the wheel boss is 17mm. My main worry is that it's my splines that are wrong (hence the question) I can now get back to him and ask for a refund.
Cheers Stan.
