Show us your steering wheels.

I have one that I'm in the process of trying to get fitted. It's made by Grant but Mountney makes the same one. The only differents witch seems to be the worst is the Grant version has a 5 hole mount to the hub bass and the Mountney has a 6 hole hub bass. I think I have resolved the issue by getting a multi-hole hub assembly for a Mountney that should fit the Grant as well. I have the red one.




So the big question is what steering wheel are you using?

You gotta go for the "carbon fibre effect." Sounds classy.

I already have the red one. and the CF is not real CF so it looked real cheesy.

Hey Minitor thanks for the link. I was really hoping to see what folks have put in there classic Minis.

I have had several Grants in previous cars and all of them fell apart after a couple of years from the heat and sun exposure. Not a fan of them at all.

Hey there all Minis anyway. Easy to get confused. Nice Aero Kit BTW. I think that is the best looking one out there.

Nice wheels. Is that an Automatic I see.

Don't think I've ever even seen a picture of an Automatic Mini

My wife got me this one for my birthday. It's going on the car as soon as I get a puller from Harbor Freight to remove the old one.

That is incredibly bright Does it match your Mini?

I finnally got my Wheel on the mini but not for real. it's just bolted on for looks at the last few car shows.



I won the auction for the Boss. I sure hope it works.

It will eventually. At some point in the future, I will get the surface rust taken care of, and have it painted traffic cone orange and black.

Definitely. I got tires in the mail yesterday (finally) and put them on the car last night. All it needs now is to get the exhaust welded back together and mounted, then registration and I'll be driving it to work.

Cool. Can't wait to see it. Did you get the issues with your window on the New MINI fixed?

Yeah, new glass in the back and side, and had the dent in the C-pillar fixed and painted. Cost me a $500 deductible, but while I was carless and unable to go home for lunch, I was eating lunch in a pub across the road from my office. Over the week I did that, I was up $350, which was money I wouldn't have won if I had the car, so I figure it cost me only $150.

I love this one so much, I bought a back up on eBay and use it the extra one for a bit of fun when driving.
