What the correct part number is for the steering shaft for a S2000 VGS is or where I can find it or better yet know where I can buy it?

Only Japan, plus you will need several more components to complete. Lots of fabricating as VGS is RHD only, so converting to LHD is not easy!!!

I've had the steering wheel for over 2 1/2 years and I took the wheel to many machine shops here in Toronto but they all said they couldn't make the VGS wheel fit the standard S2000 shaft. The standard shaft has less teeth than the VGS one. But seriously does anyone here know the part number?

All this for a steering wheel? In the end you still wouldn't have VGS. I just don't get it.

You can't seriously expect me to believe that their are no other alternative options that would be easier to increase interior space.

I've already looked into changing the steering wheel but here in good ol'Toronto the boys in blue will slap anyone who disables their factory safety device with a HEFTY fine as well the insurance companies here will not insure you and charge you with criminal negligence. Hence, the VGS steering wheel ... besides it's different and as far as I know no one here in Canada has swapped the steering wheel yet.

Did it ever dawn on you that no one on this board has been able to swap that steering wheel yet because it's nearly impossible to do?
