Steering Wheel Boss

Post by Brandon93 » 03 Nov 2010 10:56 pm

Just wondering if anyone has ever got the dimensions of the bolts from a steering wheel boss?
Not only from Boss to wheel, but boss to rack, if that's what you wanna call it :P
Could come in handy for people that may make there own..
I have a project list, just no car. Fail

Seems a bit odd making one when they're so cheap to buy. The spline section would require machining, unless you use the splined part from a 300 wheel. The bolts for the actual wheel are 6x101.6mm PCD for old mountney wheels, 71mm for momo/sparco if memory serves.

I've barely driven the car since mate. Just over to Gosforth a couple times and to the Ryhope classic show, but it's much better. Holds a slide much easier now. I was hittting some corners on my private track at 40ish (wet day) and it was all very controllable. Just what I want. I think it is deeper than a 205 job too. Could be wrong though.

I'll inform Ron and gather many V300 wheels to butcher. Including super rare accessory brochure ones. :lol:

Even if it wasn't deeper, it's better than the mk1 Fiesta affair I fitted for my wiperless trip to the Briardene. :lol:
