Ive got a couple of issues with the steering wheel in the BB1
1)Its not nice and the foam or rubber inside has come loose in places.
2)Its off centre after the last alignment im waving at CLCM in Edinburgh....
Ideally i would like to swap to a leather oem wheel and set it back to straight ahead.
The BB1 has 4ws, driver airbag and cruise control so i would like to retain them if possible. Also looking for any help and advice what best oem option and aftermarket is available and should i retain the airbag
Post up pics of what youve got in your 4th gens
Congratulations to vtecmec for winning May/June's Lude Of The Month, with his DIY Turbo BB1 build.

Unfortunately it is not.
There is an airbag steering wheel with cruise on ebay at the moment.

I think my steering wheel has the same issue as yours, the rubber/leather spins around the metal frame?
If you want to part with the non airbag wheel, let me know as I would absolutely be interested.

thanks for info - yeah the rubber foam rotates on the frame at certain points and it just looks drab - find me a leather airbag steering wheel and i can swap the non air bag one the other option for me is to delete the airbag on the steering wheel altogether - mmm not sure if id want a 30 years old airbag going off in my face anyway
the leather non airbag wheel i have is in minto condition and has cruise - it looks and feels so much better that the airbag one....

I'd cover the cost of the one on eBay as a replacement.
Alternatively, I've just messaged a contact I have in Europe about both types, he has a boat load of spares. @raymondhonda
