Yes, but with some modifications (I've seen a pic of a 480 wheel on a 300 before). But why?! The 480 ES wheel is horrid, the standard 360GLT is better. The only nice wheels on the 400 series are the Momo optional wheels.[/i]

Momo wheels will fit with Luisi boss. I have Luisi boss in my R-Sport (made by Momo) wheel. Luisi bosses are available for 340/360. I bought mine for ~40 euros from this local parts shop.

According to this it seems that the 480 wheel will fit. I'm not 100% sure though because I haven't tried it. ;)

Stuntman i have a boss kit i bought as i was told it fitted a 300 however it doesnt!!! It may be a 240 one??? If you can find a pic of the momo boss i can check!!!

As for modding the 480 boss to suit a 300 you have to mill two hole to fit the horn ring the splines are the same so thr boss does bolt straight on!!
The boss i modded was the genuine momo one from a 480!!! Never had any troubles with it!!

Not a clue how adam did it but you could just fit the boss and use a seperate push button horn on the dash like i've done, passes the MOT fine,
cheers

I've fitted one on HUG - from memory, I sawed off the indicator cancel part & you then attached the plastic ring from any 300 s/wheel on to it. It's a tight fit on to the hub, so shouldn't need glueing etc.

Does 'feel' better as a thicker rim, but the wheel does stick out further on the spline than the standard wheel. Not a problem for me, as my seat is further back than standard due to another mod for my long legs !

TTFN,
