why are some folks using the sierra wheel for the SVA then changing it after?
why are some folks using the sierra wheel for the SVA then changing it after? What have I missed here, I take it there is something questionable in
the SVA manual to do with wheel size or crumplability (is that a word??)

The SVA manual requires an 'approved' wheel, and does not really say what the approval is except that it needs to be. I THink examples are given
that if its from a std car it complies. Also, it has to have some kinda padding and MUST NOT have any slots or holes of stuff for clothing, or jewelry
( Mr T again!) to get caught in.
Its much safer to keep the std wheel and change it afterwards. If you dont, you risk an almost certain fail, or have to buy a wheel you dont want that
complies.

Not only that, but there are rules concerning dashboard switches etc. (no sticky-outy bits) but the area covered by the wheel is exempt. Sierra wheels
are large, therefore a large area of the dash can be made how you wish.
