Ok managed to source some leather very similar to the Navada Oyster.  I got Jack from Royal Steering wheels to make my exisitng wheel fatter and just feel nicer.  I'm over the moon with the results.

Jack now has my old wheel so anyone would like something doen to theirs he can now to them on an exchange basic.  So you tell him what you want he send you a completed wheel and you post back your old one.  fitting took me no more then 15-20 min.

sorry for the crap pics but it was dark when I took them and only had the light from the car port but you get the idea.

Is that for turning the sprint booster on and off?

My father had one of the early sprint booster's on his MINI.

Do those SBs even work? Thought it might just be better to go to flappy paddle mode? Was worried it might screw up engine or fuelling parameters that's all. I like the wheel!!
