Default Re: LEATHER OR SUEDE STEERING WHEEL?

Within makes though... it's really sort of a crap shoot. Usually with older Japanese models, the same hub will work among different vehicles (because of the whole spline/groove thing). If the hub will physically mate to the shaft (har har), then your battle is mostly won. The only consideration you have to take into account, is any of the other shit, like the turn signal cancel and the horn. But if you don't give a fuck about having your turn signals auto-cancel and can figure out how to get the horn working (which is usually pretty simple and apparent when you tackle it), then you're good.

I'm guessing that that you're trying to slap something onto your truck? If that's the case, find a buddy with a 240sx and an aftermarket wheel, and see if his hub will work for you?

240sx: Ya i thought about trying that out

Turn signal auto cancel: Dont give a shit but good point

Horn: 5 gal air compressor goin in the bed and three train horns.


Thanks for that though very informative. I'll check into it all.
