S2 steering wheel on CGT

[David]

Type 44 and Typ89 wheels are the same?! Really?! Cool! I'm already using a type44 (5000) leather wheel on my CGT. I got a great deal on it on e-bay and all I had to do was pop the center ring that has the horn button contact(hub?) out of my old CGT wheel and swap it into the 5000 wheel. I would assume that's all I should have to to to this, right?
