I recently bought another magna and in order to pass road worthy have to replace or fix the steering wheel as the grip twists.

Just wondering if anybody knows of wreakers in the melbourne area that would have one or if anybody knows of a place that will fix it.

Thanks in advance.

See Mal at Mits-fix or Pm him a question here he is MadMagna here http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/member.php?u=18

Or head to any local wreckers. I usually go www.jollysupullit.com.au

They sell wheels for $29. If you're lucky you might even find a leather one off a sports or verada model magna. They've currently got a few sports models - last I checked - a green TF sports had a nice condition leather wheel.

And here's a guide on how to remove and replace the wheel. http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89456 or a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zmz2EBBoAA

Cheers guys, looks like I'll have to go for a bit of a drive then.

a mate of mine was at campbellfield reckers the other day and he said there were a few magnas there

Way way back in my distant memory, I recall reading somewhere about a process where glue was injected into the steering wheel rim to tighten up the loose sections of the rim. Does anyone know anything about this? - My wife's TF has loose grip in two places on the rim, but as yet no-one has knocked it back for roadworthy certificate.

The mechanic did say there was a company he knew of a few years ago that was doing that but hasn't seen/heard of a place still doing it.

You could do that - but surely it's easier just to buy a better condition one? Any of the wheels from TE-TJ's fit up fine (airbag or not) so why bother? just got on a bit of a hunt and find the car that appears to have the least amount of wear. Done and dusted. Jolly's have an absolute stack of 3rd gen's. You're bound to find a good one.

There was the story of a woman who picked up the phone and got nothing but heavy breathing on the other end. She said "who are you, what do you want?" Eventually, the heavy breather replied "I bet you have a tight ass with no hair". She replied"Yes - he's watching TV in the next room, I'll get him for you".

Well, I am the tight ass and there isn't very much wrong with our steering wheel other than it is loose in 2 places, and I would like to tighten it up a bit by glueing it. Does anyone know what glue to use?

They use a Loctite 401 glue with something else that makes the glue rubberise once it sets and in the grip and insert it with a huge needle. One company that will do it is Glass technology my best friend has a franchise for this company and does it for lots of car yards and mechanics for RWC purposes. I dont think this is the way to go for you but it depends what your after i also have a leather and MOMO wheel if your after something else available
