so an aftermarket 205 boss kit would fit my 340?

Pretty sure it does but if I remember correctly the indicators won't self cancel.
Someone will be along later who know's for sure.

Mountney do a boss for the 300, but obviously for Mountney wheels not Momo ones. This cost me £45 brand new:

Got it from a seller on ebay. Also does just the bosses for £15. Can look up his username if anyone is interested.

I've just used him again to buy a boss for the SD1. £20 with P&P and then I got 3 Mountney steering wheels for £21 in an ebay auction a few weeks ago. Bargain!

I'll tell you when I finally fit it... hang on, it's only on the other side of the room (thats quite a feat... had a few swift halfs...) back in a bit...

Ow, cocks, stubbed toe on a flywheel. No, Carl's boss doesn't have a self canceller, but then again, neither does the spare 360 wheel I have in the room (missing the kingpin part by the looks). Mmmm, that wheel feels good though, might fit that in the morning.

EDIT: Carl... I don't have that cool centre piece in the piccy there... whats that about dude

I want me centre bit!

Are you sure mate, it should all be in the box you drunken fool?

If not I've got a spare one here.

You use the canceller off the standard 300 wheel. Needs a bit of fiddling but it does all work. And the horn all works too. The boss itself isn't the prettiest item, but it all works which was the main thing for me. I found that wheel a bit too small though, hence the reason Chris now has it.

Rubbish pics, but hopefully you can see what I'm talking about. First shows the bare boss. The 2 little holes are for the indicator canceller to slot into off the standard wheel. The larger hole is for the horn button wires:

The second pic shows the indicator canceller slotted in, which also incorporates the contacts for the horn (2 metal rings):

Finally it all fitted from a different angle:

Ebay user is mgbreaker. Doesn't look like he does the wheel/boss combo deal any more unfortunately. But the boss part number is MB044. It's easy enough to pick up a Mountney wheel to fit onto it.

HTH!

Ahh, the one spare wheel I have in Soton doesn't have the canceller on it, but I have Beast's wheel mounted in Fake... so that means Fake's orig wheel must be about somewhere, so I butcher a 340 wheel not a 360 (just incase I prefer the 60 one!!!)

And the box you say Carl?! Lame... erm, best go check, but something tells me that it could well be at the house of bricks!!! Foggy!

Mick, I'll take a measure when I get home!

Post by **Carl** » 27 Jul 2007 10:33 am

Yeah, there was a little white box that had all the spare nuts/bolts in and hopefully the horn push.

You don't need to butcher the 300 wheel, it just unclips. or least it did on the 360 wheel.
