408 Steering Wheel

Just got a response from Moto-Lita. They say that the Aston Martin pinch bolt boss will not fit the Bristol 408???
Wondering if anyone has other information on this.

408 Steering Wheel

I see from the reply that Moto-Lita makes a Pinch Bolt Boss for an Aston Martin Db4/5/6. Will this boss fit the Bristol 408?
