Default New Steering Wheel installed (with pics)
Installed my "new" Luisi steering wheel yesterday when I had a few minutes at lunch. The leather on this thing is like driving glove leather - very "grippy". I bought it with a 944 hub. I had a hard time finding a used hub, and had decided to just buy a new one, when it hit me... they are selling hubs with dual bolt patterns, so why can't I just modify my 911 Dino hub to a dual bolt pattern? And that is what I did. Here are the before after pics of the install, and one of the finished modified Dino hub. The feel of this wheel is awesome. Love it!


Modified Dino hub:

Hey V8,

Job well done and the new wheel looks awesome!!!

It's amazing how much money you can save with a bit of thought and a little DIY.
