Bought one of these from the recent group buy on here. Though i'd post a few pics up before it goes on the car... Won't be for a week or so as I'm tempted to get some bucket seats before sticking it on.
Purchased the Forumla D shape, was mainly for a boredom project but have since grown on me...
Check that they have it in stock first! I ordered the OMP steering wheel boss kit and waited over a week with nothing... contacted them and they then decided to tell me that there were none in stock... :mad:
Bit of a long shot but... Looking to order some new push buttons for my aftermarket steering wheel and use them on the cruise control wiring. Not sure if the voltage would be a problem for these?
:)
Got some of these in the post today thanks to _Nero_
I don't see any reason why you cant solder a normal push buttons onto each half of the contact pad (on the pcb)? It's simply a connection from the rubber disc that makes them work after all...
Anyway, will take it into work tomorrow and see...
Looking for something for my aftermarket system. 2.5" Dia. bore, have had quotes to have one made at a local laser cutters but they ain't cheap :(
Looking for 304 stainless but I don't think it's too critical what grade for welding?!?!
Can you buy these off the shelf? If not, anyone know of a...
bit off topic but I was quoted £1,500 to fully strip, prep, weld a 6 point cage to any racing spec, then complete internal spray... does that sound about right?
Before I commit to buying these, is there anyone in the West Mids that doesn't mind me having a spin in their car, or just a passanger ride please? Ideally would like to try different spring rates :)
I'm in Redditch so central to most places.
Thanks,

Any reason why a standard push button cannot be used on the front of the wheel with this behind it?
Could simply unscrew the wiring end of the push button and stick this "conductive disk" on (if needed). Then simple case of designing a housing that will hold the pcb onto the back of the wheel...
What makes contact with the pcb? does the switch just have an in-built spring mechanism each end to self level?
I was thinking about this the other day... might knock something up on CAD and then get it prototyped. Wouldn't cost much as it's a small lightweight component!
Are these things fine to install in regards to using harnesses on them? Safe, road legal, ok for MOT etc?
Do they bolt onto existing fixtures or require new holes to be drilled? I'm thinking of getting one from Bloooor as a short term cage when I get my bucket seats.
Thanks :)
