i've read previous threads about covering the wheel for sva, being a tight git, whats to stop me just putting some thin foam over the metal 'arms and binding it up with something like tennis racket grip? would that satisfy sva? just a thought.

Why don't you just fit the sierra one for sva

If it looked like it was meant to be permanent and the foam gave enough protection (I think the amount is stated in the manual) you should be okay....

i haven't got a sierra one and the way my dash is set up it would be a pain to put one on , any idea of the specified padding thickness?

thanks for that i'll see how neat i can be

Europa sell an SVA pad for about a tenner iirc or failing that get one off an import MX5 - worked for me.

dose it have to have any safety marks on the wheel for sva?

No, but the boss has to be collapsible. Mountney ones aren't, Astrali ones are.

I think you can have a collapsable boss or column

whats the web address for europa?

Linky

thanks for that

I used collapsible column. Std wheel failed on height. When i fitted smallr aftermarket wheel SVA man made me fit collapsible boss.
