Half carbon momo steering wheel

Some of you guys may have seen my latest project on bookface, but I thought I'd share my latest mod on here.

 

Most of you know that I like to dabble with fibreglass and carbon fibre in my spare time, but I'd never tried carbon skinning. I've wanted to try it for ages, and thought about a half carbon steering wheel.

 

I finally took the plunge a couple of weeks ago, and ordered all the stuff I'd need, and had a go with my old stock steering wheel - which came out ok, but it taught me a lot during the process. For the last week, I've spent a couple of hours a day in the garage, and finally finished my momo wheel today. I'm really pleased with the results, but it's definitely tested my patience a few times!

 

It's been refinished in satin black, and the carbon has been lacquered in 2k, for uv protection. It needs a final wet flat and polish, but I'll leave that for a couple of weeks, to allow it to fully cure.

 

Pictures show various stages of the process, and the finished result
