The 28th mod, Billet Steering Wheel Spoke Covers

Polished billet aluminium steering wheel spoke covers are getting pretty hard to find now, PT Warehouse in Maryland still have a few left at USD$55.00 plus shipping, but other than that I couldn't find any in the UK.

However, I had bit of a result last week.

KentKruzer from the UK Cruisers club had a second hand set for sale which I managed to time perfectly and a deal was struck (thanks again Chris!).

Fitting is quite straight forward, simply bend the covers outwards (GENTLY!) and place them over the spoke. There is a small clip that attaches at the back, held in place by the springy-ness of the billet cover itself.

Before:



And with the billet covers fitted:





I'm still not convinced about this mod yet. When I go round a corner and let the wheel naturally spin back to centre, I keep catching my fingers on the back of the clips. Might be ok once I've got used to them, we'll see how it goes...
