Well, @arajani I have previous experience with installing oversized, comically-large (i.e. "period-correct") banjo steering* in a replica. And it is a bit of small-frame privilege to do it.
*Also note: correct(ish)-sized speedometer and tach, legit MGTD center gauge cluster plate, legit Smiths dual gauge, correct horn switch (for late-model TDs), correct, original dashboard trim (including glove box trim), correct door latch, correct door pockets, correct chrome-plated shifter and properly shaped shifter "hump" (which is fake), correctly located chrome e-brake handle, correct carpeted upside-down U e-brake cable shield, correct Denso rear-view mirror, correctly-located tiny cube heater a la dealer-installed Arnolt heaters of the period, correctly-shaped and pleated seats and seat back. Unseen: proper roller wheel accelerator, correct (and properly shredded) fume excluder fit over the brake and clutch pedal shafts, correct MG rubber footwell, correctly-located, correctly useless spindly MG windshield wipers, proper windshield fold-down mechanism, painted 60-spoke knock-on MWS wire wheels, etc. & soforth.
