I wanted one ever since someone posted a photo last year. It is slick. Another upgrade was replacing my worn steering wheel which had most of the "nubs" worn off with one from a W123 chassis that seemed to have little use....it feels so much nicer.

I do remember having to add an additional hole or two... Just like my belts. | ||
