    Default VN Calais/SS hornpad to VP Calais/SS

    Hi guys

    I have finally got hold of a VP Calais/SS steering wheel in next to perfect condition. As you know the VP wheel is a slightly smaller diameter than VN, but will a VN Calais/SS hornpad fit on my VP Calais/SS steering wheel as I prefer the VN look

    I should have elaborated, they will line up, but the SHAPE of the actual horn pad wont line up flush with the wheel, and will look stupid. Please post pics for what i mean

    Not really sure what you mean, looks all right to me, apart from the colour, but I will sort that

    I just wanted more of an original VN look but taking advantage of the slighty smaller diameter
    VP wheel.

    The colour of the pad is actually grey but dosn't really show up in pic.
    I will get some vinyl die paint in black
