pretty much says what it means? obviously mountney would be cool but just wondering? want some thing a bit different than a leather and not going for a space age/boy racer type.

thanks

You could take a wheel to a trimmers and get it trimmed if you have no luck getting one off the shelf.

have you tried places like demon tweeks and YBracing? they do steering wheels in different materials. most of them are quite motorsport orientated tho.

[Sam_The_Man]

ive seen a couple that are a bit more racer orientated, and the price on them is a little bit more than what i intended to spend......

I need my wheel re trimmed and the prices I am getting back are ludicrous! £200+ to recover my wheel

[Sam_The_Man]

yeah exactly, might as well try to do it myself...or get my mum to do it (shes a bit of a dab hand with a needle and thread)

[minimib]

there is one on the mini vtech supercharged in last months mini world not sure if it says what it is but maybe worth a try

Thats the same like my steering wheel. Lovely job.

That's a replica OMP. Mine's the real deal. If you're going to do something, do it properly!

oooh thats the badger!!!! and a good price too? although a bit unconvinced buy the "free postage".....

would that fit onto a '78n standard clubby steering columnand mountings?

Have you got any pictures of yours fitted? I'd always imagined that it would look too big in a mini!

could always try spray on adhesive (very strong) and gluing some suade on. Obviously doing it as neat as possible, and putting the bits where the fabric is cut behind the wheel, as such not to notice it.

I've got one of those fake OMP ones on mine....fits to the mountney M-Series boss. Feels lovely, theresd quite a dish on them though so might be a bit tooo close to the driver on standard seats (i've got buckets in mine).

[ginger_monkey]

You might find that it's a 13" wheel. I just got one fitted to mine. On a removable boss with spacer to get it nice and close. Not that I can reach the stalks very easily

You can try Rally Designs (www.rallydesign.co.uk)

They have the RMD wheels (Copys of OMP etc.) for about 50 quid. The smallest they go is 320mm which is just over 12"
