Here's the thing; My 500 Chimp has all the bits of chrome now and all seems fine on the ranch apart from that god forsaken steering wheel. The diameter is fine as is the little nodes for a humans opposable thumbs, I just don't like the metal elements and that middle boss bit was manufactured by an asmatic ant with heavy shopping. Question? Does the cerbera steering wheel fit and is it straight forward, ( clocks, buttons etc. will not work, I Know ) how long to order one in cream leather? Has anybody gone through this process already and won with another type? Also on the interior front, has anybody got tips, hints, or additions that makes life easyer or more pleasurable.

A piece of sponge or cloth between your forearm and the arm rest in the drivers door (OK, so it's not really an arm rest but a place to put tyneeeeee objects like 1p pieces). I don't know about you but I get serious pins and needles in my right hand on long journeys (no gags please ) Edited by macca on Tuesday 6th March 16:40

Why not just find a local trimmer and have them retrim your existing wheel, whatever colour you want and no major hassles ================ Graham and Rosie

Some would say I am an A1 anyway. I think the retrim seems to be the way forward. When done I shall post who and how much for proterity. Did get an interesting tip today on another site though. It is to use those velcro hook strips in the boot area. That way you can hold fire ext and other bits against the tank fabric and keep the bootwell free. It works.
