Providing your prepared for the elbow grease and can source BA parts... Sorry to steal yours  I think you've done well. Like you said, you could have paid more for just the wheel. Don't worry about the parts mate, you know I'll have more cars. Especially by the time I actually get to do the mods.  I've got something in mind for the airbag anyway, something very different.  ro88bo wrote: ashcook wrote: I'm hoping to get some spanners on the ute soon mate. Even if it is only a hour here or there. I am also thinking of selling my EL Momo wheel to fund a nice BF one. Ok Ash.....now you have me attention!! Great work tim!! You and Tim have both had me thinking mate. Would you be keen on that $1200 option? haha  What are you doing with the airbag?  That's good then, at least you'll have the spare parts again, maybe... You'll enjoy it as much as I do I'm sure... Still don't know what you and Rob are on about...  Cheers, Tim

Hey Tim
I think ash is saying a EL momo wheel would look good in my ute once i hand over the measly fee of $1200!! hahaha. This is following a discussion we had earlier. |

Excellent work as usual Tim.
I don't have an off button for my cruise setup, and it has not been an issue at all. Cheers BenJ

At least you know what that wheel is really worth though Ash... Look out Rob... The more I drive with the BA momo the more I love it... BenJ wrote: Excellent work as usual Tim.

Cheers BenJ Thanks for that Ben Yeah you had the custom switches made up on the bracket behind the that aftermarket wheel? Or has that changed since I last saw that? I thought the general consensus might be that most people don't use them... I don't the old man doesn't... Cheers, Tim

Still be interesting to see what you come up with none-the-less... Different timbers do certainly contrast very well... So that might interesting... Let me know what you come up with...
Seeing the wheel has so much space inside it without an airbag, if I make up this flip flop circuit for the cruise button I'll glue/velcro it in there I think, saves arguing under the dash... Also when I buy a head unit that supports aftermarket radio buttons I'll mount the adaptor module in the wheel too... May as well use that space for something... Cheers, Tim

Yay...
That'll finish it off nicely... From side on you can see the clock spring as the shrouds cover it on BA and the wheel covers it on EL so now its bare... Might make up something for it, might not... You need see it anyway... Cheers, Tim

Yeah maybe some 90 or 100mm stormwater PVC might be a firm press fit over the thingo on the back of the wheel... lick of black paint and it'll hide very nicely... Don't know if it'll work yet, haven't measured it...
What do I care... I have a Momo again Cheers, Tim

Cheers, Tim Hi Tim I used to have them on a bracket behind the wheel, but I currently have different buttons mounted in the steering wheel spokes. Cheers BenJ

Update...
I love my wheel... I managed to get my LED strips this week for my re-vamped footwell courtesy lighting... I bought some cheap ones previously and you couldn't even strip the wire without breaking them... They were crap... So I went all out for these which were 15 bucks each: Attachment: DSC_0949.JPG Ok they cam with this cheap nasty idea for a plug... Attachment: DSC_0951.JPG there was no way it'd stay in under its own will... So I could've taped it in, but I went all out and soldered the wires into the pin holes... They wont fall out now... Guaranteed...  Attachment: DSC_0952.JPG A bit of glue lined heatshrink (glue ensures it doesn't move from where it was shrunk, plus gives huge shrink ratio of 4:1 over conventional 2:1 sizing) gives insulation and great strain relief... Attachment: DSC_0953.JPG and a quick trial run to ensure they still work fine (fairly bright little suckers): Attachment: DSC_0955.JPG just had to put a plug on the end and then fit them to the car... I only fitted the drivers last night (gets dark early now), two cable ties around the steering column, plugged into the purpose ran plugs I put in when I had the dash out... Not sure where I'll put the passenger one yet, so I have it trial mounted for tonight to see how well it works out... If I like it when I go to work then it'll get drilled and cable tied too...

Did I mentioned they were fairly bright?
Attachment: DSC_0957.JPG They actually s**t all over the interior light... So now I have to work out a way to implement them into that... They'd make great interior lights that's for sure...Let us know what you think anyway... Cheers, Tim You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
