Title: Steering Wheel Mod
Post by: DJE624 on July 16, 2013, 02:27:34 PM
Check out this baby!  Just got it a few minutes ago.  Couldn't wait to SHO it off.  I got it from the guy that did my wheel hubs and it is perfect!

It certainly does look perfect.

Very nicely done!

Thanks!  That is actually a domed gel type.  It's deep (3D) and looks like a real emblem.  I measured to leave the chrome ring around it.  It tappers down around the edge to meet the ring.  I am sure it will last for years and years.

Yeah, like Mike said, it looks perfect...took me a minute before realizing that it originally was the Ford logo in the steering wheel, not SHO...sharp!

Hold everything! I just discovered that in bright light, there is a blue ring visible around the outside of the chrome ring.  I am going to talk to my guy.  I'll see if he can make the emblem to totally fill, edge to edge, the indentation and put a ring around the emblem.  I think I will just do silver lettering and ring.  We'll see what he says.  I will measure and email him tonight.

Just trying to iron out the kinks so if anybody in the future wants to do it they will have smooth sailing. ;D

BTW, I sure don't mind being compared to BPD.   ;D ;D

Urgent message to Lord Tubby Ton!   Stop copying all of Mike's mods.   ;D ;D ;D

Eh, he did the work -- works for me.

Plus, I wasn't first to put Nuburgs on; someone already beat me to it besides Mike.

I can't wait to see this..........

BTW, waiting on an answer for the revision.

OK.  My guy and I are getting closer to a conclusion.  To comletely cover the deep indent so the blue vertical edge of the stock emblem does not show, the measurement is 2-5/16" X 7/8".  I want him to do them in Gloss Black with Silver SHO letters and a 1/8" Silver border.  That should do it. 

BTW,  The Gel type wheel hub covers are 2 1/2" Diameter and the the vinyl Ford oval overlays are 6-3/8" X 2-1/2"  My guy will have all these measurements if you want to order any/all.  I should have pics of the Ovals Saturday night if I can get back to town and the PO on time and pics of the steering wheel next week some time when they come in.

BTW- All these measurements are off my 2012.  10's and 11's should be the same.  Double check!

I would if he did Ford; but he doesn't--so no dice.
