Ok, are there specs or safety regulations on steering wheels? i just helped the queen's formula SAE team make a steering wheel from structural carbon fibre sheet, with styrafoam to make the shape and wrapped in fibreglass cloth and epoxy. Looks amazing, super strong and super light.



So with that in mind, i want to make a momo replica my way. Suggestions and recommendations
