Jdm FD steering wheel adaption

I got a used FD wheel for dirt cheap buddy of mine was going to use it if it wouldn't mount. Worked out great. I've got to get a pick of the wheel in the car. These are the pics of what I modified.
This was the rear mount for the stock wheel. After I cut the horn plate off, I glued it to the bottom of the FD wheel. The stock turn signal cam worked fine I had cut some of the length off the ends from when I had a after market on the car but it still reached the wheel just fine.




I used a socket on the ring with some weight to get a good adhesion.

Sorry it took so long to get photo up my software doesn't work for vista I had to hook up my old desktop to download.
I think the wheel was recovered because the leather is absolutely perfect. The other thing is I've seen one on a right hand car that has the perferated grips.
