Bargain Buy But will It Be Okay?
Picked this up earlier from Halfords, £23!
Here
But will it be alright for SVA what with the buttons and it'll need a centre pad.

Dunno? Horn maybe? Was just thinking of sharp edges or whatever else they could conjur up. I saw it and just grabbed it instinctively as it was cheap!

i'm sure you could find something soft with a radius to cover them with at b&q for the sva.

You will probably need to fit a pad over the spokes and switches (but still have a horn switch somewhere) I used a pad from an MX5 import which fitted
ok with some cable ties - Mr SVA liked it anyway.

Is it ok for SVA with the flat bottom?
I'm not saying it isn't, just asking the question.

Yeah good point. I thought if nowt else it'd go on Ebay for more than I bought it I think the flat bottom'll be right though. Sure
I've seen a production car with one. I'll get some kinda padding and stitch it round the spokes, cheers fellas.

Mine went thro with a flat bottom wheel, no prob for SVA.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Rover made the SD1 and Allegro with a square steering wheel. I doubt the SVA will complain about one flat side

I saw the Momo equivalent in my local shop for 129 quid! If you ask me, you will only pay that if you are a fully paid up member of the fashion slave
society

Mine was £23 too

Is the SVA cheaper at B&Q if you have a pensioner with a card to get it for you?
The buttons are recessed so they shouldn't take much covering, I bet it was cheap because of the colour
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I am not aware of SVA stipulating shape of steering wheel but the question I would ask is does the exempt area get rasied since its boundary is from
the bottom of the steering wheel (and can you increase it to help yourself by having car in not straight ahead posiiton - I guess you can get round
that by fitting it upside down?)
as for the square steering wheels, you are wrong, they were triangular but with an extra side
