Didnt get too much done this weekend so will show the only interesting bit.

Got a steering wheel off ebay which came with a VW boss.

Being tight I didnt want to pay for a suzuki boss and as the center of the suzuki wheel looked like it would fit inside it I decided to give it a go.


Cutting the center out of the old wheel.

Then cut part of the VW boss off to get a rough fit

Image

Image

Image


Sods law it was just too big to fit inside so... MACHINISTS LOOK AWAY NOW!!!!

Image

Image


Then it was a good tight interference fit

Image


That was hammered in to the shoulder and given a trial on the truck. It was perfect so I ran a few big passes over it. Dont fancy it coming off! :lol:

Image


Then I had to top it off with the best bit fron the okd wheel so I carefully cut out the old center with a hacksaw

Image


Im really happy with how it turned out

Nice Job.

I might have a boss that would fit that steering wheel though if you'd asked ;)

That's gonna be very low on road matey, your not gonna have a very good top speed with the 31s.

You'll need 35s to get your gearing back ;)

4.6s are good for 33s
