Yeah that's the jageng bezel. It really updates the look of the cluster. I completely agree on the 930 wheel, it's beautiful! But the Dino was free, so I can't complain. My stock wheel stitching was coming loose, and the leather was faded and dry. When money grows on trees I'll probably go pick up a 930 wheel.

Used to be. Momo has better marketing now I guess. You hardly see any Dino wheels sold new any more, at least in the US.

yeah, one was a splurge I could afford as my income is almost all disposable while deployed... but, after buying another 928, and getting close to home, I cant budget another 400 right now. oh well, it'll go on my wishlist.

If you have the choice to have something padded, at least like the 930 wheels which are similiar, that will still make a big difference in the event of unthinkable. If you have a 5 point restraint, then disregard the previous.
All the best to you Chris as I hope you never have to find out.

Performance Products used to stock a decent Dino inventory...not sure whether or not thats still the case. Or, try 'Froogle' (dot com).

Bert, that wheel looks great! I only wished mine looked that great with the cover on. My cover is black vinyl and it hasn't lost any of it's color. Then of course the rest of the wheel is leather which has faded a little. So there is a big contrast between the wheel and the cover, so I just leave the cover off.

BTW is it difficult to get the wheel off? On my 1978 MGB it was a real PITB to remove, but according to the linked procedure it doesn’t mention any problems. Should have my Momo this week and would like to know if I need a wheel puller.
Here is my reason for going with the Momo.
As you can see the old steering wheel is in poor shape. The top of the wheel is cracked and damaged and the horn pad is severly discolored.
Besides I really don't like the look of the horn pad anyway.
