"Momo MOMO Trek R Chrome/Black - 350mm STEERING WHEEL"

I am sure I have seen this as an upgrade option on TVR websites. Is this the same one, and is it a straight forward swap, or are there any accessories needed to fit?

Hi Chris I believe that I have seen this wheel on a Sag,not sure if you will need a separate boss kit?

Yes, it will work on a Tam. Some people have modified the existing boss to fit it, some used a boss they got from eBay.

I modified the existing boss to fit my trek r.

Cheers, it seems to be the same as the one on TVR Power's site, which doesn't mention any separate boss kit:

Hi,

I'm considering getting one too, although I might get Dave the Trimmer to Trim the centre chrome piece, as it's a little too bling. You can get a few quid off the boss kit if you ask nicely :P The wheel is as cheap as it gets smile

I put a TVR wheel sticker on my horn button.

A number of threads on this subject. Might be able to find a pic of it...

Need to be a bit careful. I bought a momo boss kit which was supposed to be compatible and guess what - it wasn't.

Was that with the boss kit, or wasn't that needed?

ETA - and what's going on in the driver's floor?

used the tvr boss, all i did was had to redrill the switch panel on the back of the wheel to suit the new holes. when i took the tvr wheel off the boss was already drilled and tapped for the momo.

got the wheel direct from mono, it was on offer.

you can see the back of the switches through the slits, so trimmer is making some simple trims to cover those.



re the footwell...repository for tools whilst relocating this this..





because i did this



so i can fit this



with more clearance than this

Thanks for that Steve. I had assumed (rightly or wrongly) that the wheel should fit the boss as this is offered from other TVR related websites as an upgrade.

Is that an LS3? I did enquire about going down this route, but the price quoted was too eye-watering for me.

its a ls2 block (6.0l), with ls3 heads, inlet (much better flowing), and a specced cam to suit. 6 speed gearbox, uprated diff, should see close to 500 hp/tq.

doing it myself makes it cost effective, vs a stroked speed 6, and buying a tam with a "spent" engine to start with makes the costing viable.

tam handling plus 500 hp..a fun combination
