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