IVA Question. Why can't I......
Use this steering wheel with the correct trimming on the middle parts?
 
Description
I am having problems getting the sierra one to fit and seem to be going backwards in getting the car ready.
Cant I just fix trim to the centre spokes so they are radius correctly?? Or bad idea??

The centre's probably too hard for a head collision in a forward bash??

Read the manual, you can
But you may need evidence from the manufacturer, some sort of european approval I'd imagine
Steering wheel construction It is vital that the wheel is constructed so as to minimise the risk of facial injuries or concussion. The rim of the
wheel should be padded or at least made from a material which when deformed does not splinter or fragment. The centre boss should be padded or
recessed below the level of the rim. Wheels with a very deep dish are stiffer than flatter wheels and, as such will absorb less energy. The centre
boss will often be of a collapsible type comprising a convoluted crushable section or a series of metal fingers with a deliberate fold introduced to
initiate a collapse. Bolts used to secure the wheel to its boss (if exposed) should ideally be flush with the wheel surface but otherwise are
required to meet the radius requirements if contactable. Bare metal spokes are allowed as long as they conform to the edge radius requirements.
Components likely to catch in the driver’s clothing or jewellery are not permitted. Note: It is possible to fit an 'aftermarket' steering
wheel which has been approved for use on any design of column. These will be referred to as “Separate Technical Units”. If the presenter can provide
satisfactory documentary evidence that this is the case, a “Separate Technical Unit” may be acceptable
