Boss kit Question

Postby Cerberus » Tue Sep 27, 2011 9:46 pm

Hello guys,

I am wondering whether I would need an aftermarket boss kit to use one of these (NA6 with stock MoMo wheel):
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GREY-JDM-Ste ... 27b99fa85e

Considering the stock MoMo wheel has the 6 screw sort of pattern already?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

it looks like it has the bolt pattern for MOMO and Nardi wheels, unsure how it bolts to the steering rack.
Why do you want one? You do realise it's not a Sparco product right?

I do realise.
Mainly for the knowledge that this way I can take my steering wheel with me and a potential thief might be swayed/ wouldnt be so likely to carry a matching wheel/fitting with them..

And novelty. :mrgreen:

I must admit that I'd never thought of that upside of having a quick release hub. If I was thinking about nicking a car and it didn't have a steering wheel, I probably just wouldn't bother.

Orangemx5,
Is that a requirement for it to fit?
Or just so that it wouldnt come out as far?
Because one of the things I want is for the steering wheel to be a bit closer so that is doesnt touch my legs as much/at all,

Thanks for the fast replies guys, has helped alot already!

Just took the steering wheel off now I understand, it would be like 3 boss kits worth of spacing if I dont use the short hub,
Thanks guys.
