Interior Refresh Pt 2
Upgraded the leathers on the e-brake and shifter. The texture of the leather is quite nice and matches the console trim.

Haro, what do we have here? I was so anxious to receive these in the mail. As soon as it came in I got right to the install. I went with the 330mm Nardi Deep Corn wheel, Works Bell 629s short hub, and NRG quick release.
THAT is attention to detail:
It took quite a bit of modifying to make the hub fit and have a working horn. Essentially the route I took was filing down the bottom tab of the hicas angle sensor, and widening the hole on the bottom of the hub.
Next obstacle was figuring out the wiring for the horn. The wiring included in the boss kit was absolutely useless so I had to use the existing wiring harness which wasn't exactly compatible with the quick release (QR).
I connected the QR to the horn button and slipped the ground wire onto the spring on the back of the button.
Then the back of the QR was hooked up to the existing wiring harness. The ground wire on the QR would be wrapped around the spindle, secured by the 19mm nut, and the ground wire on the old harness was just left dangling.
The ground wire on the QR was too short to wrap around the spindle, so my buddy Matt grabbed some of the wiring from the boss kit and spliced it onto the ground wire to elongate it. The hub was then fitted over the spindle like so:
A job well done:
