Nice early Walnut & Sandstone Steering Wheel *SOLD*

129c · 22nd March 2016, 07:11

Nice wheel I bought for my 75.
Walnut is slightly darker than it looks.in the pictures

The Sandstone has been redyed but this is a lovely early clean wheel. Has buttons for Audio and Cruise.
Airbag will not be supplied with the wheel because the PO won't let me send explosive items in the post.

£115 Delivered.

I've sent airbags by mail/ courier with no issues. They are only explosive if they are connected surely?

They must be shipped to dealers/ distributors in the first place.

There on the Royal Mail restrictions list as there explosive.
You can of course not tell them & just say that it's just a steering wheel.

You can get couriers that'll deliver them but they need to be in a metal case incase they do go off.

A college used to work in a main dealer & if they were changed under warranty or recall they had to be detonated before being returned to manufacture.

In theory, because there are wires attached (an aerial!) you could pick up a sufficient signal to fire the match head that sets off the "explosive".

The attached wires are twisted which helps to protect, I once carried an exposive actuator around for years and that never blew

Wrap the whole in metal foil and that should be sufficient protection.

If anyone else has a nice early walnut and sandstone wheel please let me know.

Thanks
