Aftermarket Steering Wheel Question

[mike65]

Ever since I bought my 190e I've grumbled about the large steering wheel and changing it. Well now I'm going to has anyone suggestions for an aftermarket wheel? Has anyone changed the standard wheel in thier 190e?

Have a look at www.eurocarparts.com they have some nice steering wheels

Doh! First place I should have looked! Cheers

Months later I finally ordered a wheel from eurocarparts but does it fit straight on (once the other ones taken off! )?

So long as you bought the steering boss to go with the wheel Mike!

 

[mike65]

Thats what I feared! They sell the wheel but the site does'nt even list any boss for it!

Mike.

 

[mike65]

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

They DO have boss kit but listed seperately, given the nature of changing a steering wheel why the fcuk do'nt they link the wheels and the boss?

Listed under 'Boss Kits' - Steering Wheels.

Hi,

Tried to PM Mike, but for some reason the system won't let me, so I thought I would try re-activating the thread.

Mike, if you're still out there, did you fit a new wheel? Which one? Are you pleased with the result? I'm thinking of doing it to get some more knee room!

Cheers,

Paul

Paul, there is a thread out there with photo's from around 04 06 on a 190, I will try and find it later in the day, you may find it under Air bag removal as that was how the thread started.

Mike,

Well done, that looks really nice - thank you. Did you find it made it heavy for parking etc?

Cheers,

Paul

 

[mike65]

Nope but the turn-in was much improved, like having a Cosworth rack!

Oh yeah you won't be able to see the top-half of the dials but its not a serious problem.
