しい。When manufacturing a plastic 7 ohm corresponding to the shape of the hollow part of the core and manufacturing a composite body in which this plastic 7 ohm KOFRp was laminated, - steering wheels were divided into several pieces, preferably 2 to 3 pieces. It is preferable to manufacture the structure and the combined body, and then assemble them after manufacturing to complete one steering wheel, since this makes the work easier.
前記分割した複合体は再度プリプレグ等で接合部を巻回
