How are the "bananas" and outer ring held onto the steering wheel?

We'll hold you to it!

The outer (full ring) is attached with hidden hardware to the main hoop of the wheel. The 3 inner pieces are then bonded on covering the hardware to the outer.
For the pic you see above they were just resting on there. For the final assembly, the bonded surfaces were left unwrapped and unpainted. Required a some accuracy and detail to make it all work but the result with no visible hardware or seams anywhere on the leather was pretty cool.

Sweet! Thanks for the explanation!

I should add, I have the car planned out in my head, it's just the money I don't yet have! LOL
