Hi All

I was chuffed to bits to win the auction to win the Personal Steering Wheel at BBWF but when I tried to fit it to my steering wheel boss - the size / bolt pattern is slightly different to the Momo wheel that I have currently fitted.

Does anyone have a Personal wheel boss they would be willing to part with for beer tokens.

Hi Alan.


Thats unfortunate mate, I will ask the guy who donated it...I have a boss for the 280i but i doubt if it will be any good...Even if the bolt holes line up the actual column probably won't...

You mean like this:



I took it off the 400 years ago when I fitted the Momo wheel which I prefer, so had to buy a new boss for the Momo. Never got around to selling the wheel/boss.

Might be able to split them. Rev, PM me if interested.

That also looks just like the old Mountney style boss/wheel, but can't tell from photo if it would be the right size (i.e. bolt spacing)..

Happy to measure mine (Mountney) if it helps - I suggest you measure wheel hole spacing diameter and post here.

Well that's just convinced me to send them my wheel. Am I right in thinking they can make it a bit thicker too? (Ooh err missus)
