st. wheel from 1007, straight swop (apart that re-trimmed in black as they are all navy blue
) and looks like airbag will connect just fine as connector exact same but just in case to avoid explosions
have fitted resistors. gear knob is ford c/s max really better quality then pug's

Saw someone on facebook do the 1007 wheel upgrade... Personally I'm not keen, but I do like that knob.

Makes sense, but the sooner you fit the 'box, the sooner you get the benefits....steven123 wrote:not yet but started with the knobDoggy wrote:I like the wheel, but not so keen on the knob.

Here's another way of looking at it - if the new clutch / flywheel will last longer than your period of ownership and you're definitely going to do it anyway, you don't really gain anything from waiting

Re: steering wheel and gear knob upgrade
This might be totally inappropriate, but Eric may I ask about your knob? Being a 6 speed gearbox, do you have push up reverse like on my standard Exec? Just interested in the lay out of your gear selections, also - who fitted the gearbox for you and how much did you get the box for? I'm interested in doing it for fuel economy reasons.Doggy wrote:Makes sense, but the sooner you fit the 'box, the sooner you get the benefits....steven123 wrote:not yet but started with the knobDoggy wrote:I like the wheel, but not so keen on the knob.

Would you be able/interested to do conversion? It will be done in the garage anyway so I would rather pay someone who knows what he's doing. Cheers
