Steering Wheels VN

[robert_buntine]

I have the dodgy 18th centurn VN steering wheel on my car! I hate it...

Any suggestions on a good replacement for my car.

Do the nice Leather looking Holden steering wheels (VR onwards) suit or fit VN's... I realise they have an airbag etc, I just wont connect it...

Thanks.!

[robert_buntine]

is there a legal minimum size you can have for a steering wheel? Almost all the ones on ebay are 13" I thought the minimum was 14??

[ViperVp]

well i hope this min is 13..hehe
im pretty sure that 13" is the min and wooden ones are illegal as far as i know.

[gumbs]

yeh im considering getting one of those ebay ones but I don't wanna get defected theres already enough stuff wrong with my car i don't really want to add more if I can avoid it.

Where can I get one of these wheels? My VP Calais is HSV Enhanced but the original owner didn't tick the interior package option. I would love a VP HSV steering wheel in my car!

what dose the Vp Hsv look like?

[hakhawk]

the minimum for legal size is 250mm. from outside edges. this is same for most insurance places.

hey mate i brought an issota Evoluztion Leather grey wheel for my Vn Calais. Great wheel for $300 buks, will retail for over $350. Motoquipe will help u greatly with there range and autobarn stock em too with the momos. I rate issota highly - made in itally and like all good autobrands italian and german top quality and great names. The issota is fully aussie standards with use of there boss kit. Hope that helped, wish i had a digital image for ya but i got get me a digital cam... Cheers SUBDUE

I got a stock vs executive one on my vn (one with no airbag).

i thought the steering column splines were different from vn/vp to vr/vs, how did you get the vs exec (non-airbag) to fit ????
if this works i am off to buy a newby for mine

Hi,
I have a VS caprice, and on the story of steering wheels, i was wondering how I can take off those stupid volume/channel buttons on the wheel DIY if possible.

I have a custom stereo in and those buttons just get in the way..
