motorjock205 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Someone posted information on here a while back about how to do this, but I can't find the post to save my life!!! Anyone have that thing book marked or able to point me to it??? It might be worth a try since it doesn't look like SAI is going to offer us a steering wheel cap any time soon to match the Berg Cap on the back...

motorjock205 Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Don't remember that one Carl. Yeah, it was somewhere about the time the Berg cap became available and everyone started asking about a matching steering wheel cap...someone, I can't for the life of me remember who, chimed in with some fairly detailed information on how to make your own custom caps. Darn I hate it when I can't remember something, but it's sure happening a lot more the older I get!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorjock205 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Come on guys!!! I know I wasn't making this up or dreaming it...as a matter of fact, I found where I even made reference to it back in June when everyone was talking about the steering wheel cap wishes and the gas cap was on it's way....and that was in June, so it had to have been a short time before that...maybe someone had a link to something else, but I've looked in all the threads I can think of and just can't find it! But I KNOW i saw it!!! Just can't remember where it was! I HATE GETTING OLD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT; This what you are looking for? http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php...st&p=439124 Edit 2.0 Roger has one too but the pic is missing. Oh wait.

There was also a link to someone that had all kinds of WILD gas cap covers that were airbrushed I guess, but who knows...maybe it was all a bad dream!!! I was just hoping to find it again, because my wife is an art teacher, and probably has the talent to do what he was describing and make it look very good...

ilmor Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Here are some images borrowed from the above-mentioned site which show how the emblem attaches to the steering wheel hub... According to the poster there, "The center cap emblem is made of nothing but thin tin metal. It can be pryed off with a couple of small screwdrivers. It's held in place with six thin tabs, nothing more. It took me about two minutes to remove it. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I'm not real crazy about having to do a lot of trimming on the airbag like that guy did in that post...plus having to use RTV sealant to get the disc to stick to that... I have ordered the Saleen "kit" for now just to get the pony outline for the steering wheel cap, and I've sent Michael at MTM Unlimited some more information along with pics of this "kit" so hopefully he'll come up with a price real soon for me to do the BERG snake on the steering wheel cap, front grille emblem, and all four GT500 center caps... Here are pics of the Saleen 'kit" [at tachment=32547:saleen_pony_cover.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorjock205 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Whoa, so close! http://www.scottdrake.net/prod_details.asp...ng+Wheel+Emblem Damn air bags! Yeah, it's almost tempting to buy one of those and trim off those ears and see if it would go over the existing cap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
