Repairing a VP Calais steering wheel

[losh1971]

My VP wheel gas a snapped horn pad clip and cocks up on one corner. Does anyone know of a way to fix the clip, or is there another wheel that shares the same post and clip to secure the pad? I know VR Exec doesn't clip on the same way, I already looked.

Anyone? I priced these up and I have an SS wheel by the looks of it and they are asking 400 bucks +. Mine will be easy fixed if I can find another wheel that has the same posts.

Not sure with Calais SW's but can't you just buy a replacement from a wrecker?

Maybe post a photo of the post and clip? Might help people think of something.

There should be a thread in the JC archives that goes over how to repair those plastic studs that break off the horn pad.
