Sabelt Cruise control bracket & other sport wheels

a1axx · Jul 6, 2015

Little work in progress of brackets I will be trying out, heres the first prototype.

More to come, please keep an eye out and if interested let me know

JamesBryan · Jul 6, 2015

That's really good!

I bet you'd get a load of people wanting one.

m&l172ph1 · Jul 6, 2015

Very nice, if I had cruise control I'd want one!

Jekyll · Jul 6, 2015

That looks great.

leedsboy · Jul 6, 2015

I like that.

Not having the buttons is the only thing currently putting me off getting a new, smaller wheel.

a1axx · Jul 6, 2015

Cheers guys, if anyone is game to try one I can tailor to suit any arrangement and also add space for having the horn in there too.

Inspiration came from the layout of a Clio cup steering wheel, I drew this up and it suits the wheel very well

Jekyll · Jul 6, 2015

I keep looking at this! I really like its design.

If I was to get another 1*2 with cruise control I'd defo have a smaller wheel knowing you can make these to tailor the wheel of choice.

Have you sourced buttons to suit? If so, pics?

I have ordered a load of these ones, to sort of match the blue suede, but of course I can get them in a range of colours!

Saw this on Facebook, looks awesome mate. Really impressed that people are coming up with such a pro looking set up!

bloke · Jul 6, 2015

any idea on price yet?

Count me in [emoji106]

Sesqui89 · Jul 6, 2015

Looks amazing! Literally just purchased a sabelt wheel and not looking forward to losing CC so count me in too! :up:

a1axx · Jul 6, 2015

Thanks guys, will know price for certain next week, will be nice to get a bit of mileage done testing it on the motor way so I can make any little changes it may need for functionality!
Ball park figure about £30, that should be either plug and play or just 2 wires to solder.. Will keep you all posted on this thread

bloke · Jul 6, 2015

how about two horn buttons on the top, one on each side?

a1axx · Jul 6, 2015

Oo and any suggestions please let me know, button colour preference, material colour etc.

Red and blue on both sides.

Yeap definitely, will make it easier than retro fitting the horn stalk

Any suggestions like this are really helpful, button colour, material colour etc. Maybe some clio cup cryptic etching like pit/intercom etc just for fun!

a1axx · Jul 6, 2015

Will get an assortment of switches ordered up

dann2707 · Jul 6, 2015

Personally if it was my car i'd just go for black as I like subtle but obviously everyone is different.

Jekyll · Jul 6, 2015

Was going to say black for subtle-ness as well as the bracket has the markings etched next to the buttons anyway.

a1axx · Jul 6, 2015

This little one in particular is clear acrylic with a black coating, gives the nice effect when etched but still has lovely clear polished edges. Black buttons too definitely, also can do solid black acrylic so the etching will be visable but very subtle again!

It would also be worth noting that you'll need longer steering wheel screews to cover the thickness of the bracket. Standard is M5 x 12mm.

a1axx · Jul 6, 2015

Definitely, just awaiting my boss to see whats included to be honest with you, this plate is 3mm but may need to be 5mm. Then longer screws will definitely be needed!

Jekyll · Jul 6, 2015

M5 x12mm is the standard boss screw size on all bosses I believe.

a1axx · Jul 6, 2015

Is the plate on the boss 12mm thick? Just wondering if they protrude through the boss mounting plate

Looks brilliant

Jekyll · Jul 6, 2015

Its not that thick. I can bring my vernier caliper home and measure tomorrow evening if you want? I have a momo boss.

Black and black for me so it blends in with the centre of the wheel

josh11490 · Jul 6, 2015

As mentioned in your thread I'd be up for one of these, PM me when your selling them if I don't see, it's the only thing stopping me from buying a sabelt wheel.

I like the idea of the horn on it too! Saves swapping stalks.

Would measure it myself but I wont see it until Thursday. I think my boss is a sabelt.. Your probably right in saying they need longer bolts, id imagine they go flush to the mounting plate

Nick_Leeds · Jul 6, 2015

Looks good. I'd be interested in it if it came with the buttons and loom so it was plug and play.

Jekyll · Jul 7, 2015

Hope that helps.

Cheers for that, 3mm or 5mm brackets shouldn't be problem for standard bolts in that case!

aucky · Jul 13, 2015

Definitely up for this if you make a batch!

Should have some updates today guys, thanks for the patience! Engine build took a bit of attention at the weekend!

alexr19 · Jul 13, 2015

you really should put a kit together for this. what boss does the sabelt wheel use as ive got an omp one at the mo?

OMP or Momo, they're the same I think.

markoc · Jul 13, 2015

Following this with interest! Great idea and look forward to seeing the outcome. The option of different coloured buttons is a good move too. Personally i'd like black and red (to suit the Trophy).
