I'm just thinking about ordering an OMP steering wheel from Rally Design.

I'd prefer the suede wheel over the leather but I'm concerned it'll get wrecked by rain etc. is this the case? Does everyone else use leather steering wheels?

Also, is it the leather with the cool yellow stripe at the top of the wheel or the suede or both?

Thanks,
James

I had a suede-covered wheel (jonbeedle is now the proud owner) and I had no real problems with it. Sometimes it got marked, but a quick attack with a suede shoe brush soon fixed it.

I've got a plain leather one now (only 'cos the spokes are nice shiny aluminium!) and it's no different in use. Mind you, I usually drive using light bike gloves.

Ordering fancy steering wheels eh!!

You must be at the finishing post then,have you booked your SVA

More like at the stage of realising I need to buy different flexis for the front and I might aswell save as much on postage as possible!

James

if you're trying to save money you could always call in some of your debtors

Ned.

Might as well get your flexis from think auto and collect,M3 - A316 to twickenham/Isleworth

if you're going that way james i think i have a list of bits somewhere i need

There you are james,petrol payed

I'm going next month for my aero fuel filler,i'm fed up with the boot entry

On steering wheels, when you measure a steering wheel diameter do they use the outside diameter, the middle of the wheel rim or the inside of the wheel rim. I am using a mgb column but the wheel has an outside diameter of almost 16 inches and makes for a tight fit. Also anyon know what removable steering wheel hub can be used on a mgn column?
sorry for the hijack,
Thanks

Bob, Ned,

You lot always make it so complicated!
