Greeks Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm guessing the Stag and 2500S steering wheels are exactly the same except for the rubber insert in the middle ... but am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy thompson Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 No you are right - identical - as is dolomite wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Great. The sun and a three-year-old aspiring Stirling Moss have ravaged my current wheel and no local auto trimmers will do wheels ... not worth the 'risk' apparently!If I can find a decent dolly, Stag or 2500S to replace it will do fine.

ferny Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 You can always do a Davemate and have a go yourself? You'll probably have finger tips like granite afterwards though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 :-/ I like the concept but I can't see where I'd find the time to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgetone Triumph Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Dolomite???? I am guessing you would have to bolt it to the 2500 boss?I did buy a Sprint wheel for my 2000 many moons ago and it wouldn't fit the shaft ??) In the olden days I hadn't the nouse to use the 2000 boss :BOh the things we know now :X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeks Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 I can get it redone nicely for equivalent of about 110 of those funny English pounds... cheaper than any viable alternative wheel unless I can find a vgc original. Looks like it's 50 quid to buy the leather alone if I wanted to do it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeks Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Ha ha ... Mr Steering gets everywhere don't he? ;)You're right, it was $50 not 50 quids.... should someone warn him about the advert for the 'Quality Black Italian' ... Jemery Claxon might get in trouble buying a container load. :X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nang Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I've had one of these made for the Spit and one for the S. Although not leather , a good product. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/PositionTrack.aspx?pos=11&sn=13-55&sci=10895683&r=L21vdG9ycy9jYXItcGFydHMtYWNjZXNzb3JpZXMvdmludGFnZS1wYXJ0cy9hY2Nlc3Nvcmllcy9hdWN0aW9uLTc2MjExODg4OS5odG0=Tony.

I'm thinking leather would be nicer and about the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Don't you have kangaroos and such wandering about? Don't they have skin? Mmmm, roadkill steering wheel cover :PNick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Better than marsupial it seems is just to get another one from Chris Witor. When that one starts wearing out I can sew a leather cover on the original.... my car is turning into Trigger's broom.Ok, ok, I admit it I couldn't resist it...
