What you have looks like it was cobbled together from a LHD setup.

Here's a very short thread from some RHD folks looking to do what you did:

I also found some used parts on eBay UK: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.h...814&toolid=10001

Or call Westfield Motors and see what they have.

It's definitely a RHD setup from VW Beetle '58-'66.

I've been finding threads like this...

and a restored one here:

...showing how it should be setup with a floor pedal.

In my case the floor pedal has simply been replaced (badly) with the wheel.

So my options are: stick with the wheel or switch to a floor pedal.
I'll stick to the wheel for now, but improve the setup by making a stronger steel bracket to hold the wheel in a better position. I have it in mind...will post pics when I'm done!
