How to make a steering wheel hub from my sierra wheel?
Does anyone have any info/piccies of how to use the ali sierra steering wheel centre to make an adapter to fit any steering wheel.
I have a Westfield wheel and conversion plate (looks like it was used with a QR hub by the last owner):

Can you weld ali ?
I hacked the centre out of my old sierra wheel, then stuck the remains in a lathe and cleaned it up leaving a step in the top half to locate.... a bit
of 3/8" ali plate, cut a hole in this that the dropped over the hub.
Welded it both sides, then stuck into the lathe again and reduced the plate to the correct size for the steering wheel mountings, dropped it on,
drilled the 6mm holes and bolted it up.
Took about an hour, was free but no centre horn push.
Job done but not to everyones taste I guess

Sadly I can't weld anything at all, nor do I have a lathe.
I had thought that'd be the way to do it, I was hopng someone might come up with a more 'rustic' approach though!

i cut the center out of the steering wheel and got a friend to machine 6 flat sides on to it to match the original bit to fit the quick release unit
.it made swapping the wheel over for the sva a little easier
got a few pictures in the photo archive under busa,,cant seem to get them to show up here

that ali adaptor is for fastening to the astrali boss so a momo wheel can be fitted to original boss
