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.

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 :D

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.

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!
