INT: honda Prelude steering wheel conversion on 90-91 cb
Boo piss
92-96 Prelude (SRS) steering wheel will NOT fit
I never liked these steering wheels, but they are flooding the board with their simple to intall-ness.
When I went out searching for a new steering wheel I saw one of these in a car, but decided not. It looked to 80's.
Converting to a CD6 Column is easy enough and you can retain SRS with newer steering wheels, the CD6 Column is compatable with many more steering wheels than the CB's, plus the CD is just a CB in disguise, making install a snap. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...l/P1041228.jpg
The CD column can also be re-keyed to fit your CB7 key! The ignition is completly Plug and Play! http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...l/P1041230.jpg
The the CG6 (6th gen) uses the same switches as the CB just in disguise!
All you have to do is change the rear of the switch with the CB and your good to go. Some clever wireing (and timer unit from the CG6) the INT wiper works too! Some carefull wireing and the key ring works, cruise and horn also work fine. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...l/P1041248.jpg
Sure it involves some slight dremeling, but its worth it. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...l/P1041213.jpg
I dont mean to whore my work, I just want to see some custom work!
The old 80's lude steering wheel looks dated to me, but being a straigh bolt-on affair. I can see why many people choose it.
impressive... most impressive
i've been wanting to retrofit lighting and wiper switches in my column for a while now. mostly because i'm not satisfied with the feeling of a CB's switches, and their lackluster feedback. they're just not that "snappy" if you know what i'm trying to say
but thanks for sharing this information. might have been nice to throw it into a new DIY thread, as you said.
this is definitely substantial information on its own.

Well like most of my mods, I'm forced into MAKING it work because I have to be at work the next morning. That and someone stepped on my CB7 switches when I had it on the ground.
That being said, making a DIY is rather difficult.
Same with my BB6 Cluster conversion
so i had a hiccup while installing this... The person i bought the wheel from didnt include the prelude gyro-connector-thingamajig... Now, re-reading the instruction it seems like you must replace the accord gyro-connector-thingamajig with the prelude gyro-connector-thingamajig. Instead i removed the harness from the OEM accord wheel and soldered it to the prelude wheel and connected that into the stock gyro-connector-thingamajig....
my only problem is that I have already filed off a lot of the back of the steering wheel and it still rubs, using a coarse prickly file... I put some vaseline back there to help lubricate it and make turning easier.

mine still rubs lol, and yeah i applied some wd40 and it solved the issue
Maybe you could start by tracing the wires to their components, to see what they operate.
The wheel itself doesn't have any wiring, except for the horn (single black wire). Any other electrical wiring would have to run to that little Cruise Control switch box.
Sweet dude very visual DIY thats the way i like it seems very easy and deff. a mod ill be looking forward to do be eazy
I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather... Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car My Ride *****;http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...lbumId=2844229***** Oja Thnx Everyone, at cb7tuner.com
Great DIY. I just installed mine today. Horn works fine, trimmed down the back of the wheel so it barely rubs anymore, but I have 2 issues: 1) Turn signals do not cancel, even though the 2 pins that go into the back of the wheel are in place and 2) How do I keep my cruise control?
