Recently a customer purchased an Eclipse 315 Carbon Fibre steering wheel from us for use in his road legal track car. He explains his project here;
"The modified Eclipse 315mm wheel will be used on a replica Lola T70 Mk3B which has been in build for the last 4 years - and I hope will be on the road in about 8 months (maybe)! The plan is to make a road legal track focused car with a little more power and almost the same weight as the original/continuation, using modern, low maintenance mechanicals and electronics;
- Motec M150 with switchable TC and Bosch M5 ABS,
- Motec PDM, Motec C127 display and a motorsport wiring harness
- ARE Dry sump Chevrolet LS built by Peter Knight with custom CNC 54m downdraft ITBs
- Quaife ZF H pattern 5 speed transaxle
- Alloy clad steel space frame chassis with all new epoxy infused carbon body panels - that we have been working on for 2 years now - plugs almost finished.
- Centre lock CNC billet replica wheels (with rim proportions slightly changed to disguise the fact we are using R17 F40 tyres / same dimension Hoosier slicks for track)
Tim Mason / Autosport Electronics did the wiring , and I had the Carbon mount designed by Henry Chiron - and can supply. An upshot of this is I have had so many CNC parts made that make a NA LS installation into a mid engine car straightforward, from a compact billet front drive system to a billet bell housing and 8.25” twin plate clutch - etc that I plan to market the components - once proven if I am happy with the overall outcome."Here are some pictures of his project and the Reverie Eclipse 315 Carbon Fibre steering wheel that he used;
