My brother's recently fitted a suede sparco steering wheel to his defender and I really like the feel of it. But I don't think i've seen one fitted to a mini which seems impossible. Has anyone fitted one and if so, what boss did you use?
Thanks
Adam

Out of interest, what are the L and R for on the steering wheel? They denote left and right I assume

Well, apparently the previous owner didn't know the difference between left and right and that's a big problem when you're driving a rally...

my dad's fitted one to his defender too... the suede went all funny within weeks. We have been told this is due to the oil on your hands, they are meant to be used with racing gloves of some sort!

Yeah, that's true, you're better off buying a leather steering wheel...

I've never actually seen one fitted, looks good though. I shall have to look into which boss they take.
Thank you :)
