RELEASED: New GTS / Sandman Steering wheels

[Taily]

yes they have been remade to take the original bolts and screws etc not just for the cap but also the horn ring and everything else

im sorry but not sure what you meant by your second question?

The question was: Can you buy just the wheel without the horn button (cap whatever) etc (ie; a bare wheel) and do you have a link to it like you did with the other wheels (ie; sdo that people can work out how much for it)?

@Taily ... I don't think you can mate, from memory you could only buy a complete wheel or the cap/horn components seperately in the past. BIG CAV can confirm this tho. Also @BIGCAV's link says for ALL AVAILABLE wheels so I'm guessing not.

Depending on how friendly you are with your local Rares guy, (if you have one) ask him if he'd do a deal if you just took the wheel & not the cap. I'm sure he'd be able to on sell it as the caps with horn mech used to sell for about $90 seperately.

I have a quick question on these steering wheels.
Are they made with the outer rim exactly the same design as the originals or have they been improved so that they do not suffer
from the exact same problem that has plagued the originals. (Cracking and bending at the hub to outer rim joins etc.)
Cheers Paul.

firstly sorry about the late reply, i normally check the online forums from home but my internet has been down, still is down actually

the area your concered with has been improved and constructed by the modern steering wheel manufacturer and has been independantly tested, ADR testing wasn't just crash/impact tests, we believe there wont be the issues the genuine wheels had

Thanks Very much Cav.
That's just what I wanted to know.
To everyone else it looks like I have just been real unlucky with all the wheels that I have had/seen then.
Thanks to all for the input.
Cheers Paul.

Ok so over ten days ago I asked the above question.
So will I get a reply to this question on this forum or will I have to post it on Fastlane to get any sort of reply at all.
Cheers Paul.

If they cracked and bent in 10 days i reckon they'd be pretty shite, maybe ring Rare Spares and ask them. Or you can always ask on Fastlane and see how long they take.

Cheers Mark

Was there really a problem with the originals? They're all over 30 years old now so no suprise there are a few broken ones around. Out of the 6 I've got there's only 1 broken one and given the state of the rest of the car it's no real shock.
