I just went through this. I ended up cutting a nice 1/4" thick piece of
aluminum and then having a proper support made. I will take the aluminum piece
in to an upholsterer to finish the job. I had put some 3/4" closed cell foam
(same stuff I line my inner fender wells with) and glued it to the aluminum. A
tech inspector said it was ok, but really preferred a LOT of padding there,
something thicker.
I almost considered a nice pad I saw for sale for sprint car drivers to pad the
steering wheel. It was circular in shape and very well padded.
