  • In this episode we look at examples of steering wheel 'notches' and one example in particular, the 'Dylan Ring' - a brushed aluminum ring that fits seamlessly onto any Porsche steering wheel, to provide the interior with a subtle and unique style upgrade. Let's check it out!
    From the designer: "As a 991 owner and long term fan of Auto Amateur I wanted something a bit special to fit my steering wheel rather than nasty, cheap electric tape options. My 13 year old son, Dylan, came up with the idea of matching it to the same polished aluminium used on my Porsche Sports Steering wheel. With the help of a local metal worker we have created a small number cut from best quality, 1 mm gauge, polished aluminium. It is the perfect finishing touch to any Porsche interior."
    AVAILABLE ONLY from #AutoAmateur.com

    Key Features:
    - Cut and polished by hand in London, UK
    - Gives an instant eye line reference to your central steering position
    - Made from best quality 1 mm gauge solid polished aluminium
    - Matches Porsche’s own polished aluminum #SportsSteeringWheel
    - Designed to fit perfectly within Porsche’s 12 o clock steering wheel notch
    - Easy to fit it in under 30 seconds with no glue or screws required
    - It's like jewelry for your Porsche
    - Makes a 13 year old boy very proud :-)

    Nice video length! We used to route the windshield cleaner line out the front of the car when we were kids. The High School parking lot was always fun that way.

    Hey James, funny you are doing an episode on 12 o’clock stripe this episode. I just got my hands on multiple colors of 1/2” pinstriping tape. Fits perfect, it’s been fun trying different colors. I do like the brushed aluminum look, never would’ve thought of that. Good job Dylan!

    Love the aluminium notch. Dylan, maybe you could anodize them different colors too. Easy process, and then I could change the color depending on my mood.. James, you are starting to cost me money now. When I get back to the states I will have to buy the notch, plus the wireless adapter since my 991.2 only has the usb.;-)

    • @dylthebradiator5037
      @dylthebradiator5037 3 года назад +1

      Very nice suggestion, we were actually looking at anodising however wanted to keep it simple to match the polished aluminium sport steering wheel although there are definitely possibilities in the future

    Why do you need the wireless adapter for Car Play? Doesn't your Joyauto unit have wireless Car Play?

    • @AutoAmateur
      @AutoAmateur  3 года назад +1

      It does. It’s not for me.

  • @livnaway
    @livnaway 3 года назад +1

    Did your steering wheel have the groove for the notch already? How do you make the groove? When are you going to get the carbon fiber steering wheel we discussed? It's the best carbon fiber upgrade I've made.

      Normally there will be two little pieces of stitching at the top of the steering wheel however if not you can always measure it out and friction fit it onto the right place.

    Normally a fan of your videos and subtle modifications. Although, this is a no from me. "Sits perfectly flush" unless its not installed correctly in the video, it looks far from flush and looks like you will be catching it all the time. It also looks to be a lose fitting. Not sure about this one ....

    How do us Englishers get hold of these....seems a little mad them being made in the UK, being shipped to the US and then shipped back to the UK. Maybe set up a UK/European outlet?

      They’re shipped from the UK directly to you.
