Thanks boys. What’s involved with getting to all the fasteners? Just the upper and lower cowling directly behind the wheel? I’ve checked tightness on lower uj and all good. Just the upper one it seems 😃👍

Omega General Help / Steering wheel

« on: 23 May 2020, 16:20:59 »

Hi guys. Still managing to pile through the list of jobs on eeyore during this period.

My steering wheel when u give it a shake back and forth at 12 and 6 (like u would with a road wheel) it’s got a bit of clunking as if the steering wheel is slightly loose. I think it’s transmitting this through the wheel when making turns. It’s not bad just something I’d love to get rid of.

Any ideas as to why it would do that? I doubt it’s going to be the bolt loose that holds wheel on? But if it comes to it I will whip the airbag off and check. Tia 😃😃😃👍👍👍

Right. I’ve gone and removed most of the snotty trim covering but it’s not leaving the finish i want.

I’ve seen vinyl wrap is an option. The stuff on eBay is the exact colour and very cheap. I think this looks like the sort of finish I’m after. You guys ever done this?

Just been out and had a butchers. The scratches are literally just in that layer of vinyl coating. So having previously done this I’ll have to scratch that layer off. The t cut didn’t even touch it. Maybe a razor blades?

So if it’s not removable the best way by the sounds of it is to mask the door card and spray it. That’s fine cos the rest of the door card is in really good condition....just scuffs on the pockets

Thanks GK. Does this blend nicely with the rest of the door card? And I didn’t realise those pockets were removable? Cheers boys 😘😘😘

Hi guys. Thanks for al the replies and replies. Sorry I haven’t replied but had a lot of unexpected shit on 😩😩😩

Anyway i have an alloy from work and am going to practice first before jumping straight in 😃😃😃

If I don’t get the results I’m after I’ll get them done professionally.

On a side note I have some light scratches on the door card pockets. I’ve got a good heat gun and I’ve seen this will take them out. Anyone tried this? And if no good any suggestions how to get rid of them?

Cheers ladies 😘😘😘🙏🙏
