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

Please watch the two videos for a definitive answer to this question.

The person in the video is Ed Mayo, who is the PCA tech committee member for the 914 and early 911. He was kind enough to let me video him in his shop while he moves the steering wheel from a factory 914-6 to a 914-4. We didn't go the other way because it involves removing the plastic spacer.

Video 1 is Ed removing the factory wheel from his personal 914-4. From the video you can clearly see the VIN plate and the VIN on the compliance sticker, plus the 4 lug wheels.





Video 2 starts with a picture of the 914-6, showing the VIN number and the compliance sticker. Granted, the steering wheel Ed takes off of this car is not a factory wheel, but putting on an aftermarket wheel doesn't change the steering column splines. It ends with Ed putting the 914- wheel on his 914-4 and turning the steering to show that it actually will turn the road wheels.



All of this was taken with my Android phone. If you need to verify this, you can call or email Ed Mayo. His information is listed in Panorama, and I am listing it here also.
