Re: Question on steering wheel sizes
I imagine you mean the early metal versions as the later plastic version was a 'One Size Fits All' design.

Re: Question on steering wheel sizes
In "The Collector's Guide" By Alex Picha there is three pages of info devoted to metal steering wheels. From this the following can be found.
Y1 Ford 8.5 mm
Y6 Bugatti 8.5 mm
Y10 Merc GP 9.6 mm
Y10 Merc 36/220 8.5mm
Y16 Spyker Originally 9.4 mm latterly 8.5 mm
The arrangement of spokes and central locking nuts/horn buttons can vary on these steering wheels.

That's a genuinely impressive display of the dedication of Matchbox collectors - steering wheel sizes documented to tenths of a millimeter!
