Hello Scale model fanatics
ive got an MP4-26 Mclaren steering wheel made by Amalgam, The quality of the rim is totally just for the looks which is ofcourse the meaning of the product but not for simracing, but i do want to be using it for simracing so im going to make the wheel stronger with more supports,
The handgrips are made of foam with a layer of paint over it, its not going to last long if im going to use this, what i want to do is make a mold out of the handgrips now, and than take of the foam handgrips of the rim, and fill the mold with something that will harden into a comfortable but durable Rubber, i want to know if people here already have experiance with a rubber material on their custom rims.
material that i kinda am looking for is the rubber that is being used on Motorcycle handgrips or bicycle handgrips.
and any ideas on materials and how to be doing a job like this ? [ATTACH]310002[/ATTACH][ATTACH]310003[/ATTACH][ATTACH]310004[/ATTACH]
