Steering wheel/Marina brakes

My 61 Frog came with a 13 dished steering wheel. Cant figure that out unless the PO had very short muscle bound arms and very long legs. So I am looking for a good 15 inch wheel ,the sprite original is priced out of my means so I am wondering if any other BMC wheel would fit ei a A40 or Cambridge .Any info would be appreciated . I replaced the brakes on my Morris minor which looks a lot like the sprite with Marina disc brakes it was a fairly easy swap just had to modify the hubs. Has any one gone this route on a frog eye as I have a complete extra set of Marina disc with the mods to fit a minor done.

Thanks
Michael

Steering wheel:

I have one that will fit if you're interested. Very similar to a MKII, which I thought it was, but it's actually Spitfire. The nice part is it takes the same horn button.

Marina discs:

The spindles on the sprite are different, so mounting the calipers will take different mounting system than the Morris. The other issue is that the Marina calipers will likely not clear the 13" wheels.
