Steering wheel handle things

Not a recommendation - I've only ever browsed their catalogues - but CDC Truck Accessories

Agricultural machinery dealers -- usually call them "spinners" in my experience.

Thanks - I'll check 'em out.

In the US in the 1950's they were called high speed necker knobs, IIRC.

Try any local company that adapts vehicles for disabled drivers.

Use one of these offroad at your own foolish risk, though.

I see.

letter to be

Try either any place that converts vehicles for disabled drivers (I live with one!) or an agricultural supply shop.

Just call in at ANY truck stop type place, you know , the places the truckers stop for dinner, shower etc (not motorway service stations) , , , , they usually have well stocked accessory shops , ( though unfortunately all the electrical goodies are 24V )

Wheelspinners

I've only used them on tractors but Sparex part Nos S.626 S.644 or S.14923 at agricultural machinery dealers.

Not a problem if you have an ex-MoD FFR...

Though the only place like that I came across, and that was quite a while back, was just north of Towcester, on the old road rather than the bypass if I recall right.

I have never driven with my thumbs inside the wheel, it is a habit I never aquired.

I think you've been very, very lucky. I've seen people refused access to events for having them. IMHO they are an accident waiting to happen and generally best avoided unless you have no option (like only having one arm).
