Hey guys.
So a few months ago I bought an MTech wheel at local junkyard (not a pick and pull, over the counter only place). The price was stupid cheap and the leather was really nice, so I figured what the hell.
Turns out the monkeys in the junkyard of course did not break the ignition lock so the splines are damaged - visible cross-hatching, for lack of a better word. They just wrenched on the thing until it broke free. I only just yesterday attempted to fit it on my E28, so I'm well past the return period.
This is one of three "spare" MTech wheels I have, so it's not a big deal to me. But I wondered if there's anything I can do with it that might make it useful again in the future. The leather is really decent, but I'm guessing it's just useful for parts at this point. Pic of damage:
Thanks,
Jeff
