Guys, here's my dished Formula steering wheel fitted.

I'm very happy with it. Only thing is the wood colour is light, while my dash is quite dark (walnut).

I may try refinishing the wheel in a darker shade, for a better match.

Or just leave it. I have so many steering wheels and so little time...

Thanks for your support, boys.

I've tried the restaining thing before, with a Mountney wheel, and despite my lack of woodworking skills, it turned out rather well. I found getting the right match to be pretty tough though.

I hadn't realized that a stain will look either lighter or darker, depending on the type of wood. (duh!)

This wheel is in very nice shape, so it'll require some careful attention.

I may seek some professional advice. (not psychiatric, but that might help too)
