And don't ever try to make connection between Czechoslovakia an USSR again

 

My posts had to do with different things than the politics that you have mention.

I don't care to talk for this period, my point was crystal clear, this is a thread about steering wheel spacer

I have no time reading-posting about USSR era materials of Jawa frames and posting about pedals in a steering wheel thread.

 

and i didn't say nowhere about any countries.

If you have issues with USSR i have too and maybe much more than yours but this is not the place to analyse it.

I checked my notes, i have 70.000 km completed with Sport style steering wheels and never regret this decision.

This was my first but unfortunately was discontinued. Richbrook steering wheel 350mm RIC5000.60

Vinyl is pvc

 

Yes that's why here in GR when someone says ''I am Vinyl fan'' means is a collector of Vinyl music discs

https://athinapalaiopoleio.gr/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/sheer-window-curtains-vinyl-record-1.jpg-1-750x600.jpg

because Vinyl is a type of plastic and a toxic one.

 

So now that we clarify about seat covers, train seats, gear knobs, Jawa frames and pedals let's move on to Steering Wheel spacers and Wheels.

You create a whole fuss to me for (1) Heater Core photo and now we have a dozen irrelevant posts.

Your topics are nothing but irrelevant posts, so no harm was done. The other thread was actually useful.

 

Forgot to turn on ignore notifications. Will fix it now.

I haven't mentioned USSR one time. Don't thinks it's accidental, since you use xenophobic and racists remark all the time, hence I have no further interest in interacting with you.

There materials had nothing to do with this thread, i don't have them and i will never intend to use them in my car, is it so difficult to understand it?

As for the accusations all of them are false, directed by other and had nothing to do with this thread.

Ladies & Gentlemen, we have an absolutely stock interior (100% by the book) but we have a ''special'' steering wheel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder how much he paid for this modification? 😲

 

Even having my thumb ''inside'' the steering wheel (more grip) i can reach easily with my index finger the lever for the turn signal or the windscreen wipers

 

 

 

so in the future i am thinking to install a few mm thicker spacer.

 

Here is a factory steering wheel with an ''artistic touch".

 

 

I wonder the chrome horn buttons are practical?

 

 

 

Are they chrome or aluminium (or al-loom-e-m as your favourite nation say) (small photo) and why leave the air vents and inside of of centre console (or is that just shadow) black, they should be painted blue to complete the theme.

They also say ''ba-de'' (body) or ''sh-ap'' (shop) or ''mourins'' (marines) etc.

So for our ''favourite'' as you said: since 60's there is a derogatory word from a Greek to Greek, it's the: ''Americanaki'' and i assure you no-one here dares to wear an american eagle shirt-patch etc or wave an american flag, they don't even say the word ''America'' if you ask them ''where are you come from?'', they only say ''States''.

There is good and bad in all people from all places but for the UK for about at least around nearly a century we don't need to look too hard for enemies with having many in America as our 'friends' - and this is before the Donald and his rabble.

For sure i am thinking for aluminium one (i don't think ABS plastic is a good idea) but i can not predict the cost.

I also want to modify the plastic cover of that cone, now looks a bit shorter. 

Another example from a very old car (C2 Corvette) with ''barrel rim'' steering wheel

 

 

they had it back then but today what's the reason to keep it?

 

 

An owner in a restomod project decide to replace it with a modern-look and more practical Sport style.

Well done Man !

I liked the design of this wheel.

Since my car doesn't have airbag or horn button at the center, it is perfect.

 

Is it sturdy? Does it flex on the top section a lot?

No problem all these years.Very helpful while driving in Mountain roads, gives me confidence.

Th only ''issue'' in in City driving, it's 320mm so a bit stiffer from ''lock to lock''.
