New Leather Steering wheels

[TjP]

Those are tidy. Slightly different to the standard wheel that was in my mk2, in the way that those ones there have swellings for your thumbs, my old one didnt. Got Smokeys old TF wheel now though and the shape is very similar to that picture. Very easy to fit.

I've bought one, what size is the main steering wheel bolt? 20 minutes to let the charge in the airbag go, I pressume?

mine turned up this morning while i was in the shower

Haynes does not say what the size of the bolt is, but it mentions 10mins for SRS to loose its charge.. 20mins seems like a cunning plan tho

Why do i feel the urge to buy one ready for when i get my zs??

[vinny1979]

good man lol. 24 or 32mm?? i cant remember

mine came too.

Same size as the original but much better feel to it.

Now on the lookout for an MG Airbag.

It looks exactly the same as the wheel in my mk ZS, but the one in my car now has gone all shiny really and doesn't feel like a grippy leather wheel. Have those new ones got a nice grippy feel to them?

all my airbags needs re-doing next year anyway, so will refit the old module for now and get the lot done in 2010...

yeah it is a lot less slippery than the plastic one i have on atm...

admittedly my testing has been holdng it in my hands and pretending, as my car is no where near me to swap them over
