Danny - Good luck with your interior, I'm sure it will match the high standard of the outside.

Just one thought about this statement...

Would turning the hazzards on while on the move (e.g. running into stationary traffic on the motorway) be a bit tricky if you have to look/reach behind you for the switch?

I'm sure you have thought of this, but figured now was the time to mention it.

Good luck, Paul.

i may need to re-think the hazards! i was justgoing for the 'minimal' look on the dash but now thinking about it may need 2 find a place for the hazard button!,

I will post a picture of where I put the Sports control for the gear box and the ASC button on mine. Reasonable discrete but easy to reach.

I suggest Paul L might want to work on his braking technique so he doesn't run into stationary traffic ;-)

Hi Danny, Pleeeeeeese save me a set of your amazing decals. Love em !!

Cheers, Chris

I just had a look at where you put them buttons but i dont have that section left as i riped the full lot out WCA.

Ive just posted your decals Chris

Danny_HUFC · #**153** 31st January 2014, 18:18

ive stripped the sleave off my gear nob down to this...

and ive got a bit of 8mm stainless rod and welded a nut on the bottom to fit the top of the gear stick. Il be using lock tight on the thread but can anyone recomend a different soloution as i dont want the top half of my gear stick coming off when driving!?

WorldClassAccident · #**154** 31st January 2014, 18:23

Well I would use blutac and gaffer tape but I may not be the world best engineer...

Ollie · #**155** 31st January 2014, 19:06

If the 'stub' thats left is easy to remove, i'd take it off, slice it in half, get some steel tubing thats a tight fit, cut to length, tap both halves into the tube a fair way, then seam weld both ends back. It would be strong, and you get to keep the original thread for your gearknob.....

Scottie22 · #**156** 31st January 2014, 21:20

You could drill through and put in a split pin.

2manytoys · #**157** 1st February 2014, 09:22

Thanks Danny......You are a STAR !!

Quickie question; Can you remember the recess dia of your Mazda steering wheel , before you fitted the Fe....i Horn push ? Mine is 54 mm which is bigger than the 50mm quoted on the fewari item. Would this be the reason you needed to modify ?

Thanks again, Chris

Danny_HUFC · #**158** 3rd February 2014, 10:01

you got the stickers ok then, i was worried they might have got bent. The ferr@ri horn was too small for the recess on the nardi steering wheel so i had to bond it into the casing of the existing button with stickerflex...

hopr that helps

Danny_HUFC · #**159** 3rd February 2014, 10:09

Gear stick on, guna put a tack weld on aswel just for piece of mind however i did like the idea of blu tac from wca!
