Steering Wheel Fitment 914-Four v. Six, Is there a distinct difference or are they interchangeable? Options

[c12croft]

The caption lines essentially cover it all.
Can the steering wheels of the sixes fit the fours and vice versa?
Specifically, can the wheels shown as advertised for one also fit the other?
Although I've not verified it yet in any tech manual, I've got the sense that the answer is no, just based on reading the tech info found in eBay ads.
Can anyone here confirm my suspicion here or not?
note: extra credit given to those who bother to answer and include a description of the physical differences
Thanks

Sorry but there's some mis-information on this thread.

All 914 steering wheels - 4 & 6 cylinder versions - have the same number (& diameter) of splines !

Any 914 wheel can be fitted to a pre-'74 911 after removal of the plastic 'spacer' on the rear (held on with 4 screws).

I have bought/sold over 200 914/4 & 914/6 steering wheels so am talking from personal experience.

There are some (subtle) differences between early 914/4, later ('72-on) 914/4 & 914/6 s/wheels but not in regards to the number/diameter of the splines.

If this is true then why does this guy think recovered 6 wheels are gold plated?

Mis information after mis information here!!

Part # 914-347-806-10

The 6 original stearing wheel will not fit a 4 stearing colomn unless the very early 70's used the same colomn! I have tried it with a 74-4! The splines don't match. You can mix and match an early 4 with a late 4 and some 911's!
