- Assuming the 'recipient' UK wagon is a Classic, then you'll need this hub:
http://www.driftworks.com/hkb-boss-subaru-13810.html
... Accommodates the OEM clockspring module for the indicator self-canceling...and also retains the OEM horn-push feature.
I have one fitted to my STi 5 (for running a tiny 260mm steering wheel lol):
- If, however, your wagon is a New Age, then you'll need this one, instead:

If you can be arsed, then for sure, you can swap over your v3's whole steering hub assembly into the wagon - assuming that's possible?!?! And then you won't need the HKS hub.
But surely that's a lot more of a ballache (than just buying that hub), no?

Well if they are both out anyway and one has to go back then just put the one from the v3 sti onto my v3 uk wagon, my wiper and indicators are on that side already, top man for the link tho I really appreciate that I'll leave this in case someone else struggles or is interested in getting the nardi wheel and wants to know the procedure it offers a couple of option, thanks bud appreciate that

Ah, didn't realise that both assys were already removed.
Didn't realise the MY97 UK cars got the Airbag/clockspring set-up? I assumed they'd be just like their JDM brethren.
Only thought the MY98>on cars got airbags.

Yeah mines on a P plate, there's been a lot of confusion with this vehicle it has all the import characteristics such as the bright clock and the stalks on the other side but I have checked the chassis number and everything is alright but it seems as though all of the JDM bits have crept in? I thought that boss was HKS at first glance but it says HKB, haha

Sorry, yeah, it's HKB, not HKS.
But the make matters not.
- Purely out of personal curiosity, I'm guessing your wagon is actually a MY98 (not MY97)...albeit your car does have the correct P plate for a MY97. (But DVLA can be a bit hit and miss in this area, regardless).
MY98 was the model when the cockpit changed... Inc. passenger-side and steering wheel airbags, see?
Now, the year letter code (4th character) for JDM MY98 cars is "E". But - and just to complicate things - the UKDM MY98 model should be "F"... Post up the car's applied model code, I'm guessing it'll be:
GF8F5KD
(K = UKDM model)
Am I correct?

(OK, so I got the K in the wrong place lol).
But yeah, the E does indicate it's a UK MY97. (For a JDM, E would indeed indicate a MY98).
I'm surprised TBH - seeing as you say yours has the airbag steering wheel. Ho hum...

For want of a better phrase, V3/Ph1.5 cars are a pain in the ******* ****.
Have you got a pic of the rear of your original steering wheel?

Nope. The gubbins in one of the OP's pics looks the same as my car.
Got a V6 STI steering wheel in mine now, kind of modified it so the indicators self cancel.

I thought the uk cars had a drinks holder and not a clock, I think it was deffo there from std seems like a lot off ball ache to install it and have the issue of all the seat belt pretentioners and wiring just to have a steering wheel, maybe was a feature of the later ones but the fella just took early delivery of the car? Or maybe a very fussy order?

If the drinks holder is in place, it's 'hidden' above the cubby (which itself is above the radio/DIN slot). It pulls out.
I had my 1993 WRX for a few weeks before I realised this...as without prior knowledge, it's hard to see.
