The ones that fit in the middle of the steering wheel boss, seriously, what a crap idea. Mine are all shot as they have been butchered by the electrologist from hell. Can anybody point me in the right direction for some replacements?
The board is ok that they plug onto its the plugs on the end of the steering wheel button wires i need. I have tried the breakers but theyre wanting me to buy a whole steering wheel nono

PM markh1, I'm sure he had some made up.

If not Racing Green or Power should be able to supply a new ribbon cable.

Not the ribbon cable, its these:

They come off the steering wheel buttons on black wires and plug into a pcb which sits in the middle of the boss if you remove the wheel.
If you pull back the top of the foam shroud behind the wheel you can see them, bloody things furiousbiggrin

I'd suggest contacting Radionics and / or Farnell to see if they have them or can source them for you.

You may need to send them some pics.

so what i did as some of mine where also shot was to buy some computer jumper leads with pin outs, cut the pin outs off and then solder them to the end of the cables (bought from maplins) i tried to find the original connector but gave up!
