Currently have the original SVA padded steering wheel on my R500 with the indicator buttons. Being a short arse, the top of the padded centre section of the wheel obscures the MPH readout on the stack dash.

I've seen a Momo steering wheel with buttons without the padded section which looks perfect, but have no idea where to get hold of one.



Sorry for the rubbish photo, any suggestions appreciated.

Given a bit of heat or persuasion of another kind, the padded section comes off. Mine's velcroed in place for easy replacement/removal.

I would say one of these is perfect, and already has the button holes to transfer the indicator wiring across too.

You might have to be careful how you remove the wiring from the existing wheel though, as on my R500 it is glued to the SVA padded base.
