New steering wheel advice needed
Hi all...
Passed SVA, all extraneous bits have now fallen off... but the Sierra steering wheel is making the thing look a bit rubbish!
Any suggestions for a cheapish replacement wheel with a central horn push?? Demon thieves etc are v expensive, and theres too much choice!

I got a brand new 12" Mountney for £12 off the bay. HTH
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

There's a good dash board designer at Westfield World. It has a few suggestions for steering wheels.
Dash Designer
Momo, OMP, and Sparco seem to be the choice of the serious enthusiast but as you mention you're looking at £90-£160 for a decent wheel.
In my opinion there isn't a finer looking wheel than the Momo 'Jet'. Alas, the smallest size for this model is 320mm which
isn't as small as most kit car owners want.
Halfords do some pretty good looking (& cheap) ripspeed ones at the moment. Westfield were using one of the ripspeed models in their demonstrator
car.
NB: Don't make the same mistake I did and buy a wheel which isn't (i) a complete circle or (ii) non-circular. They're just plain
dangerous.

I've just bought a Momo wheel off ebay, I think it was £26 and that includes the centre pad!
I've also moved down from 12" to 10&3/4" and it's much nicer...
