Hi guys, hopefully starting build later this year. Meantime making bits & pieces with space available to me.
Steering wheel made from 6mm Plywood dragged out of skip. Dashboard made from steering wheel off cuts, hope it fits.
 Thanks for positive comments on previous post. Please see photos.

Regards NewbieNick

Good work Nick. Like the old dash clocks too 

Finished it i think, would you wrap with string & varnish as suggested or leave well alone. Your views please

Deffo string and varnish for the look of it. When it grubbies up it will look properly vintage 🙂

Hi Guys Steering Wheel finished (again)
If the rest of this Kart takes a similar amount of time, i will down gear it & use it as a mobility scooter.

Nice Job Nick . Well done.

Are the spokes going to be strong enough with only being made of 6mm ply ? I'm a joiner by trade and I don't think I would rely on the ply alone, maybe back it with strips of aluminium?  A steering wheel takes a fair bit of stress forward and back when you are bouncing around in a kart.
Steering wheel looks killer by the way.

Hi Nick, if it was mine I would like to see some metal in it. Most steering wheels have a aluminium or steel hub and spokes with a wooden rim, although it still has metal between the wood. The steering wheel is a fairly important part and I don't think I could trust just wood and glue. Most plywood these days hasn't the greatest quality unless your using 11 ply birch which is marine grade. This is just my opinion so don't be put off by it.
