197 Steering Wheel by Simon_89, on Flickr

Saw a bit of a bargain on eBay and treat myself as it was my birthday this week.

So got on with fitting it tonight with the help of a friend, surprisingly straight forward .

Thanks

Great mod pal. Think its one of the best mods i have done.

Looks ace mate

Feels so much nicer than the 182 wheel, only thing is it's pretty stiff with it rubbing but shouldn't take long to sort itself out

Was it on for about £120 from ALS something on eBay?

 

[Simon_16v]

Utah, I put an offer in and they accepted it. For the condition with an airbag I'm chuffed to bits

Als are always good. How did you get the cruise plug to fit. I found it really difficult.

Put a spacer behind the wheel to stop the rubbing otherwise the wheel will be putting pressure on the squib where the sleeve is a lot longer

How do you fit it?

 

[GrahamS]

You have to sand out part of the inside of the wheel to fit the cruise plug and fit an m20 washer behind the wheel so it spaces out and doesn't snag the squib or the cowling
