steering wheel spacer

Hi, does anyone know of a spacer that will put the STOCK steering wheel app. 2" closer to the driver and allow the cruise and horns to work as they are supposed to? I did a search and could only find ones for aftermarket......
Thanks...
Allen

Why not just move close to the wheel?

I've thought about the same thing myself . I'm 6'6", and to fit properly with my long legs I don't have the best arm position for the wheel.

As far as I know, there isn't a spacer out there for the stock steering wheel. There are, however, spacers for aftermarket wheels. I had a Sparco Ring steering wheel in my old 10th Anniversary that I bought a 2" or so spacer for. Made the fit SUPER nice - I could actually drive with my knees together!

Anyhow, fabbing a spacer for the stock wheel would likely be pretty tricky. The big thing you have to consider is if that spacer failed for some reason going down the road, you'd be in BIG TIME trouble.
