Hi everybody,
I have a question mainly for the ones making their own steering wheel: what do you use for grip on the steering wheel?
We are currently having our steering wheel custom fabricated in aluminium (long story short we had do design a steering wheel to fit some non-standard dimensions), and I'm looking for something to use to make it slightly less "slippery".
I have found this (http://store.drumbum.com/skuA-66.html) and this (http://www.heskins.com/prod01.htm) type of tape, and have also been looking a bit at skateboard grip tape, but I wonder if anyone here has tried anything that has worked out well (or horribly bad, for that matter). Would even painting it in wrinkle paint do the trick?
Also; when adding tape to the perimeter of the steering wheel, I would get a minimal concave surface where I would have overlapping, has anybody had any problems with this during tech inspection? Just to be clear; the steering wheel itself has no concave surfaces in the perimeter, it would only be because of the tape. As I interpret the spirit of the rules, it would not be a problem, but it's always nice to have other opinions as well.
