Should a stitched leather steering wheel be smooth or fully perforated?
1 Answers
Generally, a perforated steering wheel cover is preferred for better breathability and superior handling feel. Below is relevant information about automotive steering wheels: 1. Definition: A wheel-shaped device that controls the vehicle's direction, converting the driver's applied force at the wheel's edge into torque transmitted to the steering shaft. 2. Grip technique: Visualizing the steering wheel as a clock face, the correct hand position places the left hand between 9 and 10 o'clock and the right hand between 3 and 4 o'clock. This posture provides better body support during collisions. 3. Materials: The frame is typically made of zinc alloy or aluminum alloy, with some manufacturers experimenting with cheaper and lighter magnesium alloys. Frames are produced through die-casting. A few manufacturers still use steel sheet metal for frames, which have more complex structures.
