Rebuilt a mk1 steering column i had with a NRG quick release adaptor on a spring alex boss. Need a steering new wheel, this ones just for testing.



Big difference...

Looks really good Jonny. I'd go for a slim line look with mine but because I don't want loads of extra buttons on the dash i'm going with the later MPI stalks. What steering wheel were you having again?

Keep it up man

Not sure yet, I've been looking for sometime but i can't decide. Want something around 11-12 inch and preferably classic looking. If not probably a sparco/omp one.

Been working on it today. Back on the body work again. I have bought a random orbital sander and its making it so much easier!

fair enough. I need to get my ass in to gear and start picking up the pace of mine but its been hard to find the time as I seem to have been hit by a lot of bad luck lately!!!

Look up 'Grant Steering Wheels' They do some real nice retro looking ones. They dont sell them with a mini boss though so I have made an adaptor for mine.

Yea it's much slimmer/neater. Just get a plastic one!

Should be fine dude, it's nothing compared to what some people have done on turbo minis with no problems.

They do say to seam weld it though. So will sort that soon to.
