Young Money (K20) · 09-02-2008, 01:04 AM

so i bought the red thread for the fit steering wheel i was wondering if anyone could instruct me on how i could instal it on my si wheel

cut the si thread carefully, then resow new thread in same spots, make sure you pull tightly.

yup thats pretty much it, i use two needles with equal thread length on each side, makes it easier i feel to get it tight

Where did you get the thread? What kind is it?

civicsifg2 · 09-02-2008, 11:08 AM

its not that hard really and doesnt take that long, its so simple, unless of course you are that dumb to where you cant put a needle through a hole.

Yeah, I was worried that I'd F it up too, that's why I've put this project off for a while.

civicsifg2 · 09-02-2008, 02:22 PM

you cant really mess it up, thread through holes and pull tight. keep doing it til you get to the end and tie a knot then tuck it into the cover

Is this an accessory for the fit, or does the fit come with it?

I looked here...
