Ive moddified the mini bowl retaining ring to suite the golf crosshair lights and so it can be adjusted as normal. All that was needed was the retaining ring to be cuts and the clips fitted. The test will only tell if it works but still no sign of bonnet!
The 4 pots have been built up just need tightening and attatching to car. Just got to send the wrong bits back

I originally wanted to fabricate this myself but now ive change to field service i havent got much use of the workshop so opted to buy instead. This assemble is originally for a games console steering wheel.... so i wasnt expecting it to be as tuff as it is.

Its made of of amongst other things, billet additional buttons, sheet metal centre bracket finished in like a ruff plastic (almost like a satin), sheet paddles powder coated black which have a very short throw movement . Everything is adjustable and parts are available too!
Im having to get an undrilled steering wheel as the mounts are 5 stud. most steering wheels are universal 6 stud i think! momo looks to be the way to go or maybe Personal
Also does anyone know a company who fabricate centre locking hubs? i notice carl austin makes them but nearly 600 a set seems a bit much, then again they are titaniun! i was looking for something a little cheaper. Ive found a set of wheels i want but would also like to go down the centre lock route cheers.
