Hey all,
Just received a beautiful superspoke steering wheel. Banjo style but I had the, brush rather than polish the individual spokes, and also use a brushed center. Beautifully matches the car. Also had them make me a spacer to push the steering wheel back 1", which increases leg room considerably.
Now the issue: the steering wheel is dramatically heavier than the factory one. Then, the spacer adds an additional lever arm which decreases the natural frequency of the up-down vibration of the wheel. So now, when the RPM goes through about 1500RPM or so, it sets off a quite visible shaking up and down of the steering wheel.
Wondering if any of you have seen something similar, and how you dealt with it. Reinforcing the steering column somehow is one option. Am also going to try it without the spacer but I need the leg room. The only other alternative is to start to machine / drill out some material to try and lighten the whole thing up. A lot of it is in the center and should be hidden by the face plate.
