Volvo 340 boss kit
Hi, while most of you are changing engines and doing all sorts of complicated stuff with your 300's I been doing the basics like getting the right steering wheel!
Id been looking on ebay for 205 and 440 boss kits at £30 while accidently buying really cheap old skool steering wheels. One day this came up.at only £20 delivered, and its got a volvo badge on the horn! In a box like this Im not yet sure if it definatley fits but I'll find out tomorow, and hopefully the wheel I really wanted will turn up by then too!

Re: Volvo 340 boss kit
Thanks for asking, The boss kit fits the wheel pictured above, but unfortunately I want to use the wheel pictured below, but the "stud pattern" is smaller.
Im now considering if I should just use the retro wheel, or If i should sell it on with the time warp boss kit to someone else on here and get a 440 boss off ebay as i know that will fit the raid steering wheel.

If that Astrali boss kit is the same pattern as the big mountney you can get an adapter to fit the smaller pattern.

Re: Volvo 340 boss kit
Well maybe I can keep it then!I'll have a look.
I was toying with the Idea of making one but wasn't sure if it would work.

Re: Volvo 340 boss kit
so it was you, you bugger. i had been talking with the seller and we agreed on a price, so he listed it for me, before i got home from work and could buy it some arse had already taken it.
I thought someone might pop up on here all proud of themselves.
fair play you got there before i had a chance, but i was still bloody angry.

Re: Volvo 340 boss kit
yes, and volvo 440/460/480 ones too. All need a little tickle with a dremel though, and the horn ring from the 340 transplanting over. I'm sure I covered this with pictures once.
