Thanks Troy, decided against doing the GSi as a BTCC rep, once its back to standard it will most probably go up for sale, just keeping the SRi

The pre-facelift CD had the same steering wheel if it helps you find one.

I think I know someone who has one actually.

Someone I know from the Cavalier and Chevette Club has a list of new genuine Cav MK3 parts for sale. One of them is described as "Steering Wheel - Three Spoke" part number 90283250

Not sure it's the right part or not. Could be the non leather one.
