Mercedes-Benz: W107 seats - steering wheel mods?

OK - here's the problem

My wife 'needs' a SL420 model W107 (UK car) & has found one she wants to
buy,

Problem - I'm just too big to drive the car comfortably - 6'4" with long
legs ....

Now I reckon that if I could find an aftermarket smaller steering wheel that
would help but I can't seem to find a supplier. Momo used to do a boss for
their wheels but its now discontinued.

I am also wondering if anyone has done or knows of any seat modifications
that could be made to just get the seat back a bit further or a bit lower.

Any help appreciated as this is one real nice car.

We took the plunge and bought it,
Its not as bad as I thought it would be - with the seat right back and as
low as it will go I'm fine to drive even with the top on.

If I can get a wheel an inch or two in diameter smaller that the standard
one it will be no problem to drive - its OK but a bit cramped around my
legs.

But loving it - if feels like a 'proper' old car - my E320 cdi feels just
tooo sanitised sometimes,

I have a 83 SL and I'm 180 cm, a little higher would be a problem,
especially with the hard top on.
I don't think a smaller steeringweel helps that much as I have one. The seat
can't get any lower!!

Anyway - have a windbreaker for the car. You can drive top down below zero
and lit a cigarette going 140 km/h.
Without the windbreaker -forget driving top down below 25 and litting a
cigarette over 60 km/h
