What makes an anatomy of the steering wheel. Change the anatomy of the steering wheel

Such a steering wheel will only have you! If the intentions to change the steering wheel are modest, and you just want to alter the wheel of the skin, bring it in order, for example, after a pillow shot or make it more grip and apply thickening on it - then everything is simple. The masters will take advantage of a special polyurethane material and the wishful shape under the fingers of the client, covers the steering wheel with new skin, replace the pillow, will generally lead your steering wheel in order. If the plans are ambitious, and I want to make cardinal changes, the steering wheel will be made specifically for you. The shape of the steering wheel is maquetted using architectural plasticine. Next, a fiberglass matrix is \u200b\u200bremoved from this form. The new form is created from liquid polyurethane. With such global alterations, you can safely change the steering wheel itself - if necessary it will be possible to trim it from the bottom. When the steering wheel is ready, it remains only to drag it with the desired material - genuine leather, eco-skin, apparel or Alcantara. And this is another opportunity to make the interior of your car completely unique - after all, the texture and skin color depend only from the client. Before the braid, at will, you can equip the steering wheel heated. In the conditions of a harsh Russian climate, this function will definitely not be superfluous.

We are professionals and be sure we will do for you best offer By changing the geometry of the steering wheel. Our masters have tremendous experience in the hauling steering and change its anatomy of many car brands, such as: Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, BMW. In addition to experience, this process requires attention to detail, pedanticity and accuracy, and our masters have all these qualities possess. After changing the anatomy of the steering wheel on its surface there will be no bubbles, folds and wrinkles. The shape of the steering wheel will be as neat as possible and verified.

• extensive experience in the hauling steering wheel and changing anatomy
• no bubbles, folds and wrinkles
• the most accurate and verified shape of the steering wheel

If you want to truly feel the way and re-discover my car, then change the anatomy of the steering wheel. It will be enough to change the thickness of the steering wheel, and the sensation from the road will become completely different. The steering wheel, made to order from and to - will become a real functional and convenient work of art. In addition, changing anatomy is a good opportunity to combine pleasant with useful: it will be possible not only to equip the steering wheel heated, but also add paints to the interior of the cabin.

The steering wheel should be comfortable

Staten steers that are equipped with cars on factories are far from ideal. But a potential car owner, choosing a car, thinks about it last. In the end, the steering wheel can always be replaced. But there is a better option - it can be improved and after refinement it will be much better than factory options. The anatomical steering wheel that you will receive after the alteration will be grip, convenient and responsive, and you will quite well feel and feel the road under the wheels. After all, sometimes it is enough to replace one item to completely change the sensations.

Tow hammer of the helm, change of steering ergonomics

Do you want a respectable European SUV? Sit B. Land Rover.... only not behind the wheel. Range factory ram Rover Sport, Land Rover Sport, Freelander, Discovery 3 is the same brutal as his body. But the ergonomics of the steering wheel can be changed tuning. Showing one of the ways to "set up" the handlebar under the hands of the host.

Masters customize the shape of the rim of the steering wheel and make tuning Land Rover Sport, Discovery 3, Freilender, Renge Rover Sport Tuning, under the arms of any size and proportions. In the places of permanent capture add bumps under the palm of the palm and are pulled by dents under the thumbs. For those who love thoroughly - build up the thickness of the rim. Warned steering wheel called anatomical. Exclusive steers are decorated with wooden inserts, glucurate with carbon, paint and poured with varnish. In this case, the finish can strongly change the design of rim and spokes.

Tuning steering wheel can be built in different ways, as they say: who has learned what. Usually, the wizard sticks the Range Rover Sport, Land Rover Sport, Freelander, Discovery Tuning, leafy rubber on the rim, and cuts out the necessary shape from it. In my opinion, it looks like the work of the sculptor with a tree or a stone when there is no mistake right. Immediately did not get into the form - rework or decrease in volume. I did not get into symmetry - and so comes out, or undermine a large form at a smaller - again decrease ... I'm not talking about nuances, such as rubber bog, with a rigid insert under veneer or varnish. The main argument of supporters of rubber technology in the alleged soft surface of the rim rim tuning Land Rover Freilender, Sport, Discovery 3, Renge Rover Sport Tuning. But who kept the tunned rubber steering wheel, knows that it is far from so soft as the factory. From soft rubber it is impossible to sharpen a clear shape and under the tensioned skin it will be frozen. Therefore, the rubber anatomical steering wheel is solid.

Another way is a glass-filled putty. Difficult from putty the shape of the steering wheel is also not easy. Yes, and in the strength of such a design, I strongly doubt.

The classic designer method of tuning the steering wheel remains and working out of plasticine and the manufacture of rim from fiberglass.

01. Range Rover Sport, Land Rover Sport, Freelander, Discovery 3, cast along with an aluminum alloy hub. Outside the frame, as usual, flooding rubber and trimmed skin. As I said, to keep this ram in my hand - the needles are thick and angular. Fingers rest in the needles on the back - I do not understand how to steer it?

02. I begin to prepare from the department leather braid From rubber rim. Cleaning the skin with the helm the case is simple, the glue holds it only on the spokes. Let me remind you to me a naked wheel: on top of rubber I am going to make an anatomical shape of plasticine. But not all the skin you need to shoot, for example, on the top sector of the rim. This is done if the rim seems thin to you. In the matrix, the diameter of the rim with the skin will be a basic diameter. After tightness, the thickness of the steering wheel tuning Renge Rover Sport, Land Rover Discovery 3, Freelander, Sport Tuning, will increase on the thickness of the skin, that is, 3 mm.

03. There is one slim place on the steering wheel, where the rubber must be removed to the rim itself. This is an inner corner on the top of the top. Rough emery paper cutting rubber to metal under a dent for thumb. In fact, such places may be somewhat depending on designer fantasies and ergonomic preferences. For example, to align the shape of the bottom sector of the rim or select the pits for your fingers on the reverse side of the steering wheel.

04. But the unrestrained flight of fantasy in the exclusive rolls is not welcome. Serious people managers range cars Rover Sport, Land Rover Sport, Freelander, Discovery 3, prefer a conservative style already classic anatomical tuning steering wheel. And we will not chase the originality for the sake of "creative" plastics, just make it convenient and solid. With such an installation, I apply the first plasticine smears on the knob.

05. Relying on your taste, experience and a large number of learned information, I replenish the right half of the ram. Plasticine gives greater freedom to the designer in the search for plastic form. Especially do not replace in modeling ergonomic elements of small plastics, commensurate with the brush hand. Rule for tuning Renge Rover Sport, Land Rover Freilender, Sport, Discovery 3 - Perfect object of plastic experiments.

06. The right side of the tuning steering wheel, after testing with different hands my comrades managed to lead to optimal size and form. On the left side, I also searched the surfaces and equipment, but now it will have to be customized in shape right.

07. We build symmetry using paper templates. Rather paper-scotch. On the inner surface of the selected area of \u200b\u200bthe reference form, gluing plasticine pieces. They will be support for the template.

08. For the template there will be any paper, such as millimeter. I cut a piece approximately a piece and laying on plasticine pieces. In places where the paper does not concern the surface of the rim or spoke, we pull the scraps of paper painting tape. So the entire circuit of the template is gaining. The edges of the template that borders with the edges of the spokes, mark with cutouts.

09. I turn the template and stick to the left side of the steering wheel, combining with the edges of the spokes on the left. Excess plasticine scraper, and the gap between the template and the rim of the steering wheel can be punishable.

10. Another "millimeter" pattern will work with the anterior sharp face of smooth "protection". I focus on the upper boundaries of the spokes. The bottom edge of the template is easily enveloped by the cylindrical shape of the steering wheel and copies the protrusion line.

11. The left line of "Coverage" is not immediately edited. Making a template several times and gradually bring the proportion and configuration of the line to the contour of the millimeters.

12. Template template, and the symmetry of the tuning steering wheel Range Rover Sport, Land Rover Sport, Freelander, Discovery 3 tuning, it is better to check and "on the eye". Turning the steering wheel to the light to catch deep shadows on the root's relief and try to compare lines, protrusions and depressions. It is said that the form is useful to turn up "upside down" to appreciate the "fresh look." In this position, all errors really appear.

13. I immediately noticed an obvious slip - the top protrusion on the right side seemed above the left. Quickly making a tile pattern with a support on the edge of the knitting needles. The technology is the same as with a millimeter, it only put on figurine, not in the same plane.

14. Verification template showed as many as 5 millimeters of difference.

15. Plasticine flushing missing volume and corrective plastic of the protrusion. Now there are no explicit mistakes, and small "roughness" will leave after finishing the form in fiberglass.

16. "In one breath," warm plasticine remained in the oven, I decided to blind a formwork for molding the matrix steering wheel tuning Renge Rover Sport, Land Rover Flealender, Sport, Discovery 3 Tuning. It turned out something like a coarse clay plate. Explichat - Great Power. I wound such a design for the first time ... Slap plasticine laid out the surface of the free form from the rim to the base of the steering wheel.

17. The external flange around the perimeter of the steering wheel, too, is peeled out of plasticine - kneading, I spool his hands and stick to the rim.

Well, the sculpture turned out! And most importantly - quickly. It will take much more time and nerves on the manufacture of formwork from another material.

Molding the matrix leave the next day and the process of manufacturing the matrix and the part itself will show in the next part of the story about tuning Range Rover Sport, Land Rover Sport, Freelander, Discovery 3 tuning steering wheel.

In the first part of our technology, I started sculpting from plasticine. Convenient sports steering shape based on the roaring Renge Rover Sport, Land Rover Flealender, Discovery 3, Sport. Manufacturing of a plasticine master model - a form of form, an important stage Search for plastics and preparation for meal fiberglass matrix.

Plasticine skills are honed over the years, but when he begins to give in - you get the freedom of creativity. True, fantasy is in the boundaries of the possibilities of fiberglass technology, the ease of tightness of the leather steering wheel and within the framework of common engineering.

Without exaggeration, we can say that the most beautiful tuning is made of fiberglass. So why not apply fiberglass for tuning steering wheel Renge Rover Sport, Land Rover Flealender, Sport, Discovery 3? Moreover, this is not the first of my experience in automotive practice - the hosts BMW, MB and Porshe have long routed ...

But, back to our brews. The fiberglass in the tuning of the sports leather steering wheel is applied not only as the material from which the steering wheel is made - the form for the "casting" of the steering wheel is made of it - the matrix. Already in the plasticine, I laid the shape of the rim and spokes under two semi-lovers of the matrix. In the middle of the rim asked the greatest width for mounting the flange of the connector. The plate and the outer plate of the formwork also blinded from plasticine.

01. To facilitate their lives after forming the matrix on the plasticine, I cover it in advance by painting scotch. Scotch, besides, smear the separator. Credit tape with fiberglass is easier and faster than cleaning and wipeing the plasticine sticking to the matrix. But you have to put up with the cleaning of the matrix in those places where the plasticine remains open. No matter how thin does not seem tape, and we will not break it with the thickness of the model itself.

Glue fiberglass is simple, but requires some knowledge and skills. We have a relatively small master model tuning tuning steering wheel for Renge Rover Sport, Land Rover Flealender, Sport, Discovery 3 with deep relief and sharp edges. There is another subtlety - the flange formwork adjoins the model at a right angle. The glass of 300, which I use the first layer, is well taken by the model form, but it is better to thicken a little for perfect laying. I add a thick porridge into the molding resin and separate the thick porridge.

02. The molding process in my performance looks like this: first I lay the porridge from the resin and Aero to all sharp corners. Moreover, not only in the inner corners, but also to the external impose porridge hill. Then, smear the entire "plate" of the formwork of a thickened resin and approach her brush glass. 300. Simultaneously waging fiberglass. If the time does not tolerate, then you immediately impose up to three layers of glass of glass at a rough matrix of such a small detail. The flanges further reinforce the strip of the same mat.

03. Forming fiberglass I try at the end of the working day and leave it to polymerizing until the morning. The hardened crust of plastic can be released from plasticine and scotch. The main thing is not to pull the sports power model Renge Rover Sport, Land Rover Freilender, Sport, Discovery 3 Tuning from the Matrix.

04. The rear half of the matrix is \u200b\u200bpreparing for molding as well as facial. Only the role of a plasticine formwork will perform the surface of the finished half-movie of the matrix. Fiberglass fastened three times with a separator, giving dry each layer. On the camouflage scotch, I make the point of installation of the matrix on the steering wheel.

05. "Adhesive" of the bottom half matrix of a sports leather wheel Renge Rover Sport, Land Rover Flealender, Sport, Discovery 3 is also not used without an aerial. The thickened resin does not give fiberglass sprouts and straighten - it means that there will be less bubbles. I form 3 layers of a three hundredth glassmate with the enhancement of flanges with an additional strip.

06. Remaining the matrix from the model brings me a lot of experiences. Sometimes the sliding and locks interfere. It is necessary to apply gross power, from which you can partially damage the matrix. In any case, we begin with the separation of the semi-informs of the matrix. I spend the knife or steel line between the upper and lower crusts, slightly spreading them.

07. In the gap between halfforms, I insert wooden clins around the perimeter. Sooner or later, one of the half will depart from the model. The second crust also take off the steering wheel. The plasticine model of the tuning of the sports steering is destroyed, partially remaining on the matrix. The pieces of plasticine sticking to the matrix and wipe with a rag moistened with Whitepite.

08. The rough matrix is \u200b\u200bready for the molding of the sports steering wheel. Renger Rover Rover Sport, Land Rover Freilender, Sport, Discovery 3 It is also necessary to prepare for placement in the matrix. To do this, partially cut off the rubber braid from rim and spokes. It is not necessary to get involved in a lot - let the larger volume of rubber remain on the steering wheel. All rubber cut off only in those places where we plan to attach the steering wheel with a veneer.

09. On the correctly cropped steering wheel of the matrix, the matrix must be tight. On the entire perimeter of the flange, I drill holes for the screws. Self-tapping screws are pulled by the crust of the matrix and fix the steering wheel in the right position.

10. The exciting moment of the steering wheel in the matrix has come. The account will go for seconds. I start with molding in the matrix of the front side of the steering wheel. Two layers of glassmate 300 will provide sufficient rim stiffness without turning it into the steel pipe. On top of the glassmate I put in a semi-movie of the matrix slide of polyester porridge. The steering wheel inserted into the matrix should squeeze excess material. Saving surplus porridge back side of the steering wheel and wrapping the edges of the glassmate on it. On the matrix of the back half of the steering wheel, you can stick only one layer of Mata 300.

11. While the resin did not "stand up", you need to have time to fold the semi-chains of the matrix of the sports leather wheel Renge Rover Sport, Land Rover Flealender, Sport, Discovery 3 and twist them with self-draws. Turn the steering wheel in the middle part should bolts, tightening the steering wheel and both halves of the matrix. That's when you can sigh satisfaction. But early rejoice - let's see if there will be a lot of bubbles in fiberglass.

12. I reveal the matrix ... At first glance, the rim and knitting needles on the front side are well made - obvious bubbles is not visible.

13. I knock the steering wheel from the back half-movie of the matrix. On all circuits of rim and spoke spokes, the face of the glass windows and mat means that the material put it enough.

14. I will describe the blade of the metal and the end of the outline with sandpaper. The surface of the entire steering wheel, too, align the sandpaper and remove the residues of the separation layer.

15. On the dusting steering wheel it is impossible to see all sinks and chips. It is convenient to have compressed air and purge gun at hand. By the number of spots, the putty can be seen how many defects I discovered after cleaning with air.

16. The putty broke the face and blocked the drawing of the relief on the front side of the sports steering wheel Renge Rover Sport, Land Rover Freilender, Sport, Discovery 3. With the help of paper templates and sandpaper I restore symmetry. Pencil lines on a spotted surface exhibit plastic faces.

17. Before touching the helm, skin is useful to conduct a control assembly on the car to finally make sure the shape and uniformity of the gaps. And at the same time, to once again touch and evaluate the convenience of grip. Fiberglass anatomical steering wheel, this is not a serial semi-finished product - it would have kept, not releaseing out of the hands!

And what else will happen when the surface of the fiberglass will be covered with natural automotive skin - leather steering wheel. How it is done Look in the final part of the manufacturer of sports power Renge Rover Sport, Land Rover Flealender, Sport, Discovery 3:

I myself have long wanted to try to take a haunted steering wheel, but it is impossible to immediately master all kinds of tuning. Therefore, I study how the experimental masters do the skin tightness. I ask a familiar specialist to strip the wheel of the skin.

In previous articles, I showed how to plow and glue a blank anatomical steering wheel from fiberglass. But this is another floor of the case. If you kept a good anatomical steering wheel in your hands, you probably drew attention to external design. It seems that all available technologies and finishing materials are used to decorate the beam. The most practical and aesthetically impeccable option is to cover the wheel of the skin, or rather, a combination of smooth and perforated leather.

The root is the closest and, probably, the most favorite detail for the driver in the car's cabin. And, as you know, how many people, so many different opinions and tastes. In this sense, the attitude towards finishing the steering wheel is not an exception - one is submitted to polished wood, inlay or rhinestones, and the other is restrained, but prestigious expensive black skin.

Skin steering wheel - the most popular way of tuning steering wheel. Often they ask to change the old, rubbed braid and, of course, the change in the shape of the steering wheel requires a new finish. Experts on the hauling salons offer to strover the wheel of expensive automotive skin - you can always choose the material on the texture and color similar to the upholstery of the cabin (torpedo). I carry the steering wheel to a familiar master.

01. Skin steering tightness always begins with material expenses planning. But before, it is necessary to decide on the breakdown of the steering wheel on the fragments - the leather case of the braid is linked and stitched from several parts. In the joints of the flap, on the steering wheel there should be a width of two thickness of the skin. We decided to break the rim of the steering wheel into four plots. On the smooth, upper and lower sectors there is a close leather, and on the side - perforated. I drank the slots in fiberglass and handed the steering wheel to the steering wheel. It squeezes the length and width of all parts of the steering wheel, got out and cut off the rectangular plates of the skin. Skin pieces should be a bit more calculated size so that you can pull during the edges.

02. When the rim turns around, the edges of the skin on the inner side are joined. The line of the junction should pass in the middle of the rim. The master marker is a leather joint line, applying a ruler and checking an experimental eye.

03. When the helm of the helm of the skin, special attention should be paid to the markup in the large fingers area. Skin joint should leave as far as possible from the middle of the rim under the helm. Another important point - notches on the markup line. They are needed for the correct location of the skin fragments on the steering wheel. During Croy, the same notches are applied to the skin to align with notches on the steering wheel.

04. Skin steering tightness This means the sheath and pasting steering wheel. But first it is cutting the material on the surface of the steering wheel. Different masters in different ways remove the patterns, but the most true way - Crying the material yourself, which you want to cover the wheel of the skin. In the cup, Kleiberit C114 / 5 glue. On the table folds the blank of the first part and flashes glue. The brush for applying glue should be rigid: not a wide greasy flour (flat brush) with genuine bristles. The glue is evenly rubbed over the entire surface of the skin, without puddle and thickened rollers. We try not to spend many times at one place. The skin flap is smeared with glue leave a little dry. Work with the skin will begin when the glue will stop sticking to the hands.

05. Trying to glue a piece of skin on raw glue to the details of an ungrateful lesson! Both surfaces should be almost dry, at least to the touch - this is the main mystery of the helm of the helm. True, there is another terrible secret, coming with experience and skill - how to determine how to determine when the glue is already dropped, but not yet drying? With these thoughts, I watched the master smeared the outer side of the rim of the steering wheel with glue and put the skin to it. Then, sent a jet of hot air from the hair dryer to the place of contact of the skin with the rim. Hair dryer in the hand of the bustyer is the same familiar tool like a brush or scissors. Hot air softens and at the same time dries glue, growing two smeared parts.

06. Simple handling of the helm of the skin, as on ordinary (non-anatomical) steering, it will not pass on the anatomy. The skin should be glued along the entire surface of the rim and spice. Therefore, the master spreads the rim in small areas and gradually moves from the outer edge of the rim to the needles.

07. In the process of tugging the helm of the hair dryer all the time participates in the work. Heated contact location, the master stretches the skin, evenly distributing it along the relief of the rim. Fingers and leather roller presses the skin to the steering wheel.

08, 09. At first, the skin passes on one half of the steering wheel to markup on the inside of the rim. During the markup, the edge of the leather flap is cut with scissors and marked with vertical notches, like on the steering wheel. The same operations, ranging from the sticker and ending with trimming and markup, carry out the second half of this piece of skin.

10. This looks like a process of cutting blanks of a leather cover for tights of the helm of the skin. Each rim sector with knitting needles is cut on the place and placed control points in the steering markup control points. Ready "skins" of blanks are rushing from the steering wheel for assembly into a common case.

11. Our blower, turns into seam. Separate skin pieces it stitches into a ring, focusing on the lines of markup. The edges of the skin on the junctions remain with the inside - for them I did the sample-gap on the rim of the steering wheel. And now the overall edge is cut at a distance of 4 - 5mm from the lines connecting them to fit in the slot on the steering wheel.

12. Perhaps the most responsible work of the helm of the wheel of the skin is to lay a line along the loop of the leather tape cover. Stitches must pass strictly at the same distance from the edge and coincide on the opposite sides of the workpiece. For this work, very strong threads No. 20 are used. Sometimes to decorate the helm, the skin is stitched with threads of contrasting color, but we make a strict classic option with a thread in the color of the skin.

13. Tape cover tightly fits the steering wheel. It is necessary to orient the skin so that the joints coincide with the slits on the rim. The edges of the cover should be shrinking on the markup line.

14. The master spreads the rim by glue and begins to make a butt on a cover in a slot on the steering wheel.

15. At the same time, it submits the skin to the relief of rim and spokes. The edge of the skin is not everywhere immediately falls around the markup line - you have to gently pull it up with the round-rolls. Now it becomes clear why this process is called the tight sheer wheel.

16. And so, the skin is laid over the entire contour of the steering wheel, and the edges come together on the markup line. It is clear that it is impossible to leave the steering wheel in this form - the edges of the skin will definitely disperse during its use. The edges of the case must be sewed as the same thread as lines on the skin. Turn the technological need to decorate helps the master's master's work. Uniformly strung lines with the same pitch step create a beautiful, decorative pattern on the inside of the rim.

17. The free edges of the skin on the spokes are converted, lined and excessive skin is cut. The ends of a tightening thread "Just in case" are made from the inside to the spokes - so as not to be blown.

Cut the skin of the skin is not every wizard, but only the one that has a lot of experience in the helm of the helm of the skin. Not all sorts of materials are suitable for rubbing the helm, but only special. The master should be able to choose plastic skin for rubbing the steering wheel and have a set of special tools. And it is better if this master specializes only on the helm of the helm of the skin.

The correct steering wheel is not round. And he is not subtle. And even more so without wooden or carbon linings and anatomical cones of covered perforated leather. So consider many owners of tunned cars. And I add from myself that good rulu It is useful to have a certified design with Aerbeg. So, the correct steering wheel can be obtained by tuning the factory steering wheel.

Different specialists practice various methods Manufacturing inserts and tuning anatomy on the steering wheel. I propose to use the matrix technology on a plasticine model. The advantage of plasticine in the operational description of the model form of the model. The advantage of the matrix in the possibility of reuse in the manufacture of the same steering or fragments of crusts for tuning the steering wheel of other sizes.

The middle part of the steering wheel does not require the intervention of Tuninger-Aerbeg must work properly. Upgrades can be subjected to only rim and partially needles.

01. The design of the rim can be trying to simply copy from the already existing steering wheel, but you can be installed with the form itself. The easiest way to imagine the desired Branca is to prevent your contours on the donor steering image. But, in my opinion, it is not worth lingering on paper for a long time, because the requirements of ergonomics and the design of the steering wheel can destroy your unrestrained fantasies.

02. It is especially pleasant to do tuning an expensive steering wheel of a prestigious car, although trying to try their strength on something simpler.

03. Most rolls modern cars covered with leather, which I remove first. The skin opens a soft rubber rim sheath.

04. If we have conceived to change the outer outline of the steering wheel, we will have to cut extra tires from the rim frame. But it is not necessary to get involved in cleaning the frame from rubber, it is better to leave it in places where it does not interfere with the change of form.

05. And now, in a free manner, we try to search for the correct proportions and convenient for the hand configuration of the tuning shape on the steering wheel from plasticine. Comparably obtained from plasticine ergonomic hand surface with original pattern of steering wheel. We carry the characteristic cones, dents and connectors from the pattern on the plasticine and again "pump" the ease of steering hand.

06. Approximately elusive shape of the tuning steering wheel start to work in detail with one of the sides. At the same time, the eternal dispute, which is more importantly plasticine or putty, I allow the putty. This means that I will not polish the plasticine to the mirror gloss for removing the almost purity matrix, and the finalness left on the level of irregularity on the finished tuning steering wheel with a putty. But on the plasticine, we need to designate the slot lines for seelings of the skin, and the fractures of the form plastic fractures. With finished plasticine of one half of the steering wheel, we remove patterns from dense cardboard.

07. We carry out the contours, lines of the slots and edges of the shape through the templates on the plasticine of the other side of the steering wheel. The lateral thickness of the ram can be controlled by a caliper, comparing the corresponding places on the right and left.

08. And here is the shape of the tuning steering wheel is simple, but do not rush to throw out contour patterns. With their help, we need to make a formwork for molding the flanges of the semi-molded matrix.

Like any closed volume, a solid steering wheel can be obtained gluing the upper and lower crusts of the form. For the manufacture of these halves of fiberglass, we must first make the matrix-lock with a plasticine model. The flange connector will divide the steering matrix into two separate halves, in which it is easy to make the upper and lower crusts of the tuning steering parts themselves.

09. The flange formwork must be installed strictly in the plane of the widest longitudinal cross section of the steering wheel. Formwork cardboard plate I usually fix pieces of plasticine on the reverse side.

10. Work with fiberglass, and in particular, the contact formation of fiberglass impregnated with polyester resin presents almost limitless possibilities for the manufacture of volumetric forms. The material in a liquid state freely envelops the surface of any curvature and configuration. And the hardened composite can be fully used for its intended purpose. When forming draft matrices, I usually do not use gelcoats (special thick resin for the working surface) and expensive matrix resins. But, I confess that sometimes "abusing" thickener - an aerosal (glass powder). My relatively thick resin is well scoring the irregularities of the model and fills the sharp corners on the form. But reinforcing material affects the quality of molding. The first pair of layers, especially on a complex surface, I drain the glass of the brand 150 or 300. I do not advise you to impose many layers at once, it will inevitably lead to fiberglass deformations. Already an hour or a half of the resin becomes solid, but the polymerization process is still continuing.

11. In the meantime, the first forming will be polymerized, I turn the steering wheel and remove the cardboard formwork. In order for the resin not to glue to the formwork, I pre-smeared it with a separating composition based on wax (Teflon Auto Plirol).

12. When there is no separator at hand, but the time does not tolerate, I ropping the surface of the contact with painting scotch. It is easily removed from the hardened polyester. So this time I closed the flange.

13. The model side of the model is also covered with one layer of fiberglass. After the resin "got up", that is, first from the liquid passed into the jelly-like, and then the solid state, I turn the steering wheel again. On the front side of the model I impose a layer of thick glass grade 600, after reading the previous plastic layer with sandpaper. Thus, alternately overlapping layers, we grow the thickness of the crust of the matrix to 2-2.5 mm (which corresponds to 1 layer of grade 300 and 2 layers of the brand 600).

14. A fully glued matrix is \u200b\u200bwithstanding for about a day, although in the conditions of constant rush in the evening a molded matrix is \u200b\u200balready in the next morning.

15. Polymaya and soft in a liquid state of fiberglass of cultivation manifests its cunning. Looking at his candy surface I want to spend on it. But invisible, sticking glass needles can hurt the hand. Therefore, first of all, I am slightly cleaned with the surface of the matrix with emery paper. Lochmata, barbed edge of the matrix should be cut, leaving a flange of 25-30 mm wide. At a distance of 10 mm from the edge of the model, it is necessary to drill mounting holes for the self-tapping screw in the flanges. In this form, the matrix is \u200b\u200bready for me to take it.

16. Blaming the knife or thin steel line separating the flanges throughout the contour. Then we expand the resulting gap between the flanges and disperse the semi-chains of the matrix. The thin layer of plasticine model during the removal of the matrix is \u200b\u200bdestroyed, partially remaining in the semi-form.

17. Plasticine residues are easily removed from the matrix. Then the inner surface can be wired kerosene. Flange contours I cleaned with sandpaper. On the working surface of the purified matrix, the defects of the flameshots of the plasticine model, which I correct the same sandpaper, are well noticeable.

Even on this draft matrix, you can make several dozen tuning steering wheel. Only who will give you so much the same rolls for tuning? But exclusive work with plasticine and fiberglass are in great demand.

Articles about tuning:"Glass steering wheel", author: Mikhail Romanov, published in the magazine "Tuning Car" No. 10, 2007,

Quantity 1:

The faithful steering wheel does not attend the finished. And he does not attend high. And even more so without wood or carbon linings and anatomical cones covered with perforated skin. So consider almost all owners of tunned roms. And I will add from myself that a certified aggregate with Aerbag is useful to have an excellent steering wheel. And, consequently, the faithful steering wheel can be purchased by the tuning of the industrial steering wheel.

Various professionals practic a variety of methods for the production of inserts and anatomy on the steering wheel. I propose to use the matrix technology on the plasticine model. Superiority of plasticine in the operational description of the model form of the model. The superiority of the matrix in the potential of repeated use in the manufacture of the same steering wheel or fragments of crusts for the rolls of the second scope.

The average amount of the steering wheel does not cause tuningorera-aerbag intervention, respectively, it is recommended to function. Upgrades can be subjected to only the rim and partly the knitting needles.

01. Design of the rim. You can try to try to copy with a closer steering with a closer, but can be melted with the form yourself. The most common method to present for yourself the desired Branca is to draw close outlines on the image of the donor. But, at my eyes, not to be decent to linger on paper forever, as Ergonomic applications and installation of the steering wheel can damage your unrestrained fantasies.

02. It is unusually pleasant to extract the expensive hand wheel of a prestigious car, wanting to try closest sets to be worthy of something simpler.

03. Most of the steering wheel hung over the time of the rims are covered with a skin, one or another I am in principle. Under the skin reveals a soft rubber rim.

04. If we conceived to change the windowed line of the steering wheel, then we will cut out excessive rubber from the rim frame. But not to be worthy to get involved in the cleaning of the frame from rubber, excellently throw it in the squares where it does not interfere with the change in the form.

05. And now, in a light manner, we try to search the correct proportions and comfortable for the hand configuration of the shape on the steering wheel from plasticine. Comparably earned from plasticine Ergonomic hand cast with an initial pattern of the steering wheel. Withow distinctive cones, dents and connectors from a pattern on plasticine and a nano "pump" ease of steering hand.

06. The presumably elusive shape of the steering wheel is beginning to work in detail with one of the countries. With all this there is a permanent dispute, which is main than plasticine or putty, I resolve in the prick. This is therefore that I will not polish plasticine to a mirror gloss for removing a practically finishing matrix, and the convexity remained on the plasticine on the closer turning steering wheel. But on the plasticine we need to designate the devils for seelings of the skin, and pointed ribs of fractures of plastic form. From the finished plasticine of one half of the steering wheel, remove patterns from frequent cardboard.

07. Withstand the outlines, stripes of slots and edges of the form later templates on the plasticine side of the steering wheel. The lateral thickness of the laborer can be controlled by a caliper, comparing the suitable areas on the right and left.

08. And here is a form of simple, but do not rush to throw lines patterns. With their impressive, we need to make a formwork for molding the flanges of the particulate partner of the matrix.

How at least some closed size, the holistic steering wheel can be purchased by gluing the upper and lower crust shapes. For the production of these halves of fiberglass, we are appropriate to first make the matrix-cast with a plasticine model. The flange connector will divide the steering matrix into two separate halves, to one or another it is not difficult to make the upper and lower crusts of the components of the steering wheel.

09. The formwork of flanges is appropriate to be determined rigidly in the plane of the most extensive longitudinal separation of the steering wheel. Formwork cardboard plate I usually fasten with plasticine slices from the back side.

10. Service with fiberglass, and in particular the contact formation of fiberglass impregnated with polyester resin delivers actually endless potential for the production of large forms. The substance in a watery state easily flies the surface at least what curvature and configuration. A hardened composite can be easily applied on the recommendation. When forming draft matrices, I usually do not use gelcoats (special thick resin for the working surface) and expensive matrix resins. But, I confess that from time to time "abusing" thickener-aerosal (glass powder). My comparable thick resin is okay scores the bulges of the model and fills sharp corners on the form. But the reinforcing substance affects the quality of molding, unusually in difficult Surfaces, I drain the glass of the brand 150 or 300. I do not recommend applying the maximum cover immediately, it will impeachably lead to fiberglass deformations. Closely after an hour or a half of the resin stops rigid, but the polymerization process lasts.

11. In the meantime, the 1st forming will be polymerized, I shifted the steering wheel and remove the cardboard formwork. In order that the resin was not glued to the formwork, I pre-smeared it with a dividing composition on the base of the wax (Teflon Auto Plirol).

12. Sometimes there is no separator at hand, and it does not tolerate, I rush the surface of the contact with painting scotch. He running off with hardened polyester. So at this time I closed the flange.

13. The signing country of the model is also covered by one-dinner cover of fiberglass. Then, how the resin "got up", in other words, in the beginning of a watery moved to the jelly-like, and then a rigid state, I re-shift the steering wheel. On the external country of the model I put the cover of the thick glass of the brand 600, after reading the preceding plastic cover with sandpaper. So, alternately Applying circles build a thickness of the crust of the matrix to 2-2.5 mm (which is suitable 1 cover of the glassmate of the brand 300 and 2 shells of the grade 600).

14. Without a residue, the glued matrix is \u200b\u200bmaintained approximately in the movement of the day, wanting in the criteria of the unchanged rush in the evening the molded matrix closely follows the service.

15. Polymaya and soft in a watery state of solid fiberglass manifests a close toes. Looking at his candy surface hunt to hold on it. But invisible, sticking glass needles can hurt the hand. Because of the main queue, I am slightly cleaned by the surface of the matrix of the sandpaper. Fluffy, kneading the edge of the matrix is \u200b\u200bneeded to wear, forgetting the flange of 25-30 mm wide. At a distance of 10 mm from the edge of the model, you need to drill in the flanges mounting holes for screws. In such a matter, the matrix is \u200b\u200bready for me.

16. The blade of the knife is either a shallow metal line we divide the flanges for a one-piece outline. Then we expand the resulting gap between the flanges and disperse the semi-chains of the matrix. The narrow cover of the plasticine model in the time of the removal of the matrix is \u200b\u200bdestroyed, partly staying in the semi-form.

17. Plasticine residues are led away from the matrix. Then the inner surface can be wiped with kerosene. The outlines of the flanges I cleaned with sandpaper. On the working surface of a clean matrix, the disadvantages of flawless plastic model, one or another I correct the same sandpaper.

Even on this rough matrix, you can make a little 10 rolls. Only who will provide so much similar tuning rolls for you? But exclusive services with plasticine and fiberglass are of great demand.

Quantity of 2nd:

The rough matrix made with the use of medium polyester resin (unlike the finishing of the matrix resin) has excess shrinkage and tias, resulting in distorting the initial form. At the same time, than the younger and more difficult component, the noticeable deformation. Unusually powerful leads occur in the corners, as in our case, on a solid separation arc of semi-chains. So that in the elements of the steering wheel to the factor of their complete polymerization accumulates the visible discrepancies of one semi-chain conditionally the second in the outline. But, then she and a rough matrix, so that only orient to transfer to us to translate the plasticine idea to the fiberglass blank of the scattered form, or serve as a temporary (cheap) snap-in for research in demand for a new product.

01. Before starting the manufacture of halves of the steering wheel, I am preparing a steering wheel under pasta. Evenly cut off the excessive rubber with the rim and the spokes inserting the steering wheel in the semi-chain of the matrix. With all this, I try to forget how to a younger place between the rim and the surface of the matrix for the adhesive.

02. Split the roaring crusts. You can go to one-same sound, immediately paving two shells of the glassmate of the brand 300. General, try to form "dry", i.e. to remove an excessive resin with a pressed brush. Before gluing the working surface of the matrix is \u200b\u200bappropriate to be compensated by the separator.

03. Component width in two shells of high glassmate gets fragile, because it is necessary to remove it from the matrix with caution. I press the fiberglass edge fiberglass protruding on the sides of the sides and stretch the crust carefully.

04. The number edges of the outstanding components should be needed on the print left on the element edges of the matrix. For segments, you can use the power tools to use, and you can freeze the blade with the knob on the alloy.

05. Processed crusts I try on the steering wheel immediately lying, if it is necessary, the rubber steering wheel. For excellent adjustment of the components, the inner surface of the fiberglass should be decent to clean the rough sandpaper, removing the sticking needles of fiberglass and pensions of the resin.

06. Uniformly modifying the edges of the components and the rim, I caught the halves buddy to a friend on the steering wheel. Okay, combined and easily sitting on the steering wheel are ready for adhesive.

07. Shake halfformers can be 2 meters. Usually, the glued elements are inserted into the matrix, one or the other in the assembled state combines them and presses to the rim. But I decided to mount the steering wheel without the use of the matrix. I wanted to check the accuracy of combining the components and the quality of filling the gluing Mat-scrap in the end of the seat of the steering wheel and on the seams. As a globe, I use a consistency made of polyester resin, Aerosil (glass powder) and fiberglass. It gets the porridge similar to the glass-filled putty, only the time for the hardening of it is important mainly. With this composition, I fill the halves of the steering wheel and squeeze them on the rim. The excess porridge, extruded from the seams, eliminating and fixing the half-figures with painting scotch. Strongly deformed areas of the crust adjust with clamps.

08. Heating the element shows the intensively flowing polymerization reaction. After a half, two hours, then the start of the bonding, I remove the tape and remove the residues of the resin. After that, the surface of the steering wheel can be treated.

09. In addition to which element, traces of the separation shell remain from the matrix. That's why I clean the sandpaper one-piece fiberglass from the separator residues.

10. Usually, the tuning steering wheel is lined with a handful (carbon), a veneer of a tree and a natural skin. Solid substances with a lacquered surface are located on the upper and lower sectors of the rim, and the side with the spokes the steering fragments are tightened with the skin. So we planned first to do on our steering wheel. But then, how they held in the hands of the practically ready-made Brank, it was light, that the extreme design of the form causes an extraordinary finish. And it was decided to conclude everything on the contrary, i.e., on top and bottom of the skin, with sideways.

11. For greater convenience, under the skin, you can stick a narrow cover of porous rubber (which is greatly increasing the cost of classes). Exemplary Cousness of a bit of larger scale than we need to glit on a fiberglass rim.

12. Rubber is impenetrable tightens the rim. In the squares of the leather inserts under the palm, the stains of rubber are stuck, carved by one-identical pattern. All rubber fragments are aligned with sandpaper, and the disadvantages are closed with a rubber crumb mixed with glue. The outlines are trimmed by templates.

13. Sometimes we plan to finish the steering wheel, you need to set the correct ratio of the rim on the joints of various substances. So, for example, the thickness of the veneer with varnish (up to 2 mm) is equal to the skin thickness with glue. This is therefore that the rim of our steering is obliged to have a monotonous separation at the joints. And the tires pasted under the skin formed a 2 mm embroidery stage on the rim. That will make it possible to straighten the rim on the joints with putty. In order to not be powered by the putty edge of rubber stickers, they should be disguised with painting scotch. With this purpose, I glued along the outline of rubber, a high plasticine strip, one or another will become a slit for seeling the skin.

14. "Hairy" putty-unavomed substance in a layout of a layout. This putty is made on the base of the polyester resin and is well spliced \u200b\u200bwith our polyester fiberglass. I also know that almost all professionals build a tuning steering wheel completely out of putty. Evenly applying and having a shtaklek, roll Appropriate form attached.

15. At the very simple steering surface, I place the strips of slots for seelings of the skin. The rods on the rim are more convenient to build the blade with the blade on the alloy. The depth of the gap is appropriate to exist more than 3-4 mm, and width up to 2 mm. Duties made by the web straightened by sandpaper. The slits of inserts under the palms were outlined by plasticine stripes. Then removal of plasticine grooves are aligned with putty and sandpaper. It is extremely comfortable to lay the grooves "Bor Machine".

16. Extreme stroke construction and fitting of the airbag cover. General, correctly calculate the gaps. The litigation is that the movable cover is not suitable for the edge of the spokes. In addition, it is necessary to quit the area for skin thickness or Alcantara, one or the other will be covered with the airbag cap. For precision fitting, I make slices of leather into the gap and "pumping" the required area. To fit the gaps, all the same means are used to fit the gaps. The finished fiberglass, I donate the primer, so that the form is completely clear, because on the spacing of the surface, it is difficult to consider deficiencies. .

On this, the mock-up service ends and the product desires to the second professionals. Initially, one-Odystekhek Master sticks veneer and compensate him with varnish, then the second master will cover the skin. The final result will depend on the qualifications of the finishes, but the shape with its ergonomics, plastic, the proportions is laid by the Maketing Wizard. That is why the basic qualifications in the manufacture of unusual products constantly had a bold creation.
