Default My new steering wheel
Here are the pictures of my new wheel fitted today. Purchased from ebay for $195 (NOS momo), I thought it would look the goods with the Fairmont wood trim, and I reckon it looks alright. Also today stumbled across a MOMO "cruise" centre pad, it fits perfectly so the fitting of the cruise buttons will be the next job.
I am still not sure of the poxy Ford centre, but it will do for now.

Thanks....It is identical shape to the EBGT/XR wheel.

If you look on the MOMO web page there is a pic of it, on the right side of the page, but it is no longer available.

Nice find mate, and an awesome price compared to the GT ones. You'll also find it's smaller so improves drivability slightly.

No. Picked one up today almost by accident. Mentioned to someone in a shop that I was thinking of converting this wheel to cruise, and they said "...Ive got a centre pad you may be interested in." Any way $100 changed hands and the rest is all good. The pad is not a GT/XR pad, it has the cruise buttons horizontal at the top of the pad (as opposed to diagonal running up the spokes) and no badge in the centre. Good because you can use standard cruise buttons.

Are there any left? I wouldn't mind one down the track. Looks pretty good, just the centre badge is a bit gumby.

Nice work.

Looks noice. Agree about the gumbiness of the center badge though.

I know my wheel would be the same size (if not bigger) but it looks like it came from a bus in those pics LOL!
