I recently bought this very smart Vetus wheel on Ebay for Henry. The centre cap was missing, but I was lucky enough to find one through Vetus' importer in a dealer on the Thames. The 'dashboard' on Henry is non standard, though I think it might be a standard dashboard turned upside down, with an instrument pod above the wheel. The only reason (excuse?) I could find to change the wheel was that the rim of the old one was too close the the instrument pod, and it made it a bit difficult to read the voltmeter. I doubt that there has ever been a flimsier excuse to buy something for a boat but, thanks to Ebay, the whole exchange (after selling the old wheel) cost less than a tenner.
Honest.
