Aftermarket Steering wheels on 340 ?

Post by jr » 02 Jan 2007 12:02 am

Seen a few, and TBH the standard one is horrible, cant find a boss kit anywhere though ?

any tips as it needs changing

There are some available if you know what to look for and where. If it's the bog standard 340 wheel, I agree, it's not nice, it sticks out as not fitting in. A cheap and simple upgrade is the 360 steering wheel, or the higher spec 340's. It's not twin horn pushes, it's a whole central pad. Looks a lot better as a start. Otherwise it can get tricky finding a boss to fit or one that is designed to fit a 300, there must be some other more popular vehicles we can borrow boss kits from.

Stock 360/late 340 wheel is also a fatter rim, as the 340 one is spindley as hell, so you can actually grab something when needed.

Pug 205 bosses fit so theres no need for him to make one

As do 300 Astrali's (surprisinging

) and I've heard 400 MOMO's, can't remember who had one. The Astrali's were dead easy to get when I got mine, think 5 or 6 of us got them from fleabay, and someone got one direct.

Cheers for the info

so 205's are a direct fit ?

The 205 hubs fit, but I'm told the horn wont work, so it might need a bit of tweaking to get that working too. I'm just going to put the horn under a random button on the dash in the meantime.

You can get Momo hubs for 300s if you're crafty.

Luisi makes boss kits for 300-series, basic momo/omp/spacro 6-bolt pattern.

Does it take care of the horn ring too? I'm kinda looking for a boss, but the Momo (may even be aftermarket) one I've found is £50.

cheers

Dave ( dekay ) has got my old mountney wheel and astrali boss , perhaps he could be persuaded to have a nose and post the serial numbers ( although I think I did that ages ago ) which may make ordering easier

My Astrali is upstairs, but I seem to remember the reason I didn't use it was it didn't have the indicator cancel thing, or I could just be forgetting things!
