Lanos tilt wheel?

Was a tilt wheel an option in the Lanos sold in the US?
I don't remember ever seeing this option.

I wonder how hard it would be to transplant a used tilt assembly into my car?

very easy. you just need to order/find such a wheel and replace it with yours.

i looked into it but it's been a year since i ordered one and still hasn't arrived. just gave up on it actually.

Now I just need to find a junk yard with one I can buy.

I looked on www.car-parts.com but I am just going to have to go down the list of all the junk yards that have steering wheels and call each to find out if they are tilt wheel.

Personally, the whole tilt thing is fairly useless. Only useful when cleaning around it to move the steering wheel out of the way. Other than that, I don't find myself using it much.

But I'm 5'9 and have found that being the average height of an American male helps, because I fit perfectly into any car, tilt or not.

i can't even get my legs under my steeringwheel.

I agree ... and because I'm tall, a tilt wheel would make the entering & exiting of the car much more comfortable on my knees!

I tried to sit in my friend's Mazda Miata once, and I almost didn't get in or back out. I thought we were toing to have to drive under a tree with a low bransh so I could hoist myself up & out of the car! LOL

Sometimes it pays off being a short Bosnian!
