Fitting an aftermarket steering wheel

[M Blur]

Can anyone confirm if I can get an aftermarket hub for a 1991 SE.. I want to switch to OMP but they say they don't supply but I know the fittment is the same as Momo, Mountney etc.

Ebay has Momo to Nardi hubs, SJsportscars has them also, and Lotus PBC has them for ALOT$$$$! I made the mistake of getting mine from LPBC for $350USD!

Thanks Artie - so that's a complete 6-bolt hub unit to replace the standards one, and takes any Momo racing wheel.. any alternatives>?

Tks Trav - would prefer an off the shelf - too much other things to do to spend time messing around making hubs to fit.. anyone got a link to a momo boss adaptor?

I've been considering fitting a flat botton wheel to give a bit more legroom.

I may be missing something here, but is not all that is needed a ring with 2 sets of holes, 1 countersunk set to screw onto the existing hub where the current wheel attaches, and a new set of offset tapped holes to attach the new wheel. It will bring the wheel out by the depth of the ring that doesnt have to be a lot - provided no horn buttons etc to worry about.

Pretty much! You could have a machine shop make you one from billet aluminum for probably about $50US

I'm still struggling to find a boss kit - perferably quick release or extended to shorten reach (I like to race seat back with with legs almost straight out)

I've just bought this - ebay item 110060460813 Nardi hub to Momo wheel convertor. Looks like the simplest way to me, and being only 10mm thick should be unobtrusive - providing it fits.

I think they post these on ebay quite regularly.

cool - and all I need is the adaptor.. Looks as if I could also use a hub extender also with that.. is the momo fittment the same as the sparco (I think it is?)

Hi Jon,

Think I've just bought it! Have a V8 Momo wheel to fit to LEW's SE.

[russellbosier]

Glad that was of use. Its reasuring to know you think it looks correct Kato.

I am just waiting to receive a vitually new Simoni black leather flat bottomed wheel that was on ebay - it didn't sell so I offered the starting price,

[Kato]

Sounds like it will fit, but I'm not too hopeful. Been struggling to find a boss that will fit.

[M Blur]

yep - got a brand spanking new Sparco Atrium flat bottomed rim in black/red leather for hlaf rrp on Ebay.. I really need a full size boss to bring the wheel closer to the seat so I can get a good angle on my arms and still extend the legs.. may even use a boss extender with that to reduce reach further..

this looks perfect..

but these guys don't ship outside UK.. aaarrrgghh

If that is the only source you can find for what you want, why not see if any of our friends in the US would do you a favour and buy it and then ship it to you - you could always pay them in advance using Pay Pal or similar.

Hi guys I hate to bring up an old and closed topic, but I as well am switching to a Momo wheel and am not 100% sure which adapter I need. Do I just have to buy a Nardi hub to Momo wheel converter and then the Momo wheel will bolt right up?

Cheers,

Graham
