Mountney/Momo bosses etc.

[volvosneverdie]

Thatd have to come off the stock wheel then?
Going to be interesting.

Momo PCD= 70mm
Mountney PCD= 101.6mm (except M range, which is probably same as momo)

I can see there is some confusion regarding horn activation. On all 300 series boss kits that I've seen, you have to dig out the horn cancellation ring. He looks like this:


And is released from inside the wheel, note the two holes at 12+6 o'clock here:

Proper 300 series bosses have those holes top and bottom, to clip the horn ring into place, and locate the self-cancellation tab at 9o'clock so that it works properly.

The clips look like this, (the right one is snapped) squeeze together and pull:


There are two types of horn ring, only the wire length is different. The wheel with the two horn buttons has longer wires and is a little harder to extract, as you have to remove the horn buttons. On a GLT stlye wheel you just pop the middle padded part off and away you go.



Now all you have to do is connect those 2 wires to a horn push which is usually snap fit into the wheel centre, or the boss itself. One such as this:




The only hard part is when you have a non-300 boss, such as a 205 or 400series one. Here's my 440 one with the cancelling tab smashed off:


All you need to do is modify the plastic ring to fit the boss, I dremel-ed the excess clips off and relieved the centre slightly and it fits fine. Just need to glue it into place, with the cancelling tab at 9o'clock.




So... I can recommend 400series bosses, as they should all be a fairly easy fit. 205 bosses are a lot easier to come by though, and shouldn't be a problem really.
HTH.

BUT-LER!

seriously though man.
Good call. could do a lot worse than that. Grow a beard, could see you with leather elbowpatches on your tweed jacket, teaching retards how to jack a car up dude. (ahem)

Be the exeption to the rule; Those who cant, teach.
Be the man who can, and does anyway.

[filthyjohn]

It's odd, I was just thinking of training as a teacher/lecturer (college lecturers get £30-40 per hour). Unfortunately, I'm sort of a jack of some trades, master of none.

Carpe diem......

Or screw Nissans together.

[filthyjohn]

Aye just waiting til payday to maximise the advantage. Then I'll tell 'em what I've thought all along.


Actually, I've always been very forthright with the gaffers, vis a vis my views on working conditions etc. That's got a lot to do with my 'colourful' disciplinary record, which means I need to bail out voluntary before they fire my ass for less cash.

[volvosneverdie]

So dont teach at univercity level man. You could teach night class beginer level or owt.
Dont write it off.
Got a mate teaching english in deajon, south korea, that failed english gcse. You just have to be able to teach man. You dont need to be a genius. You just gotsta have the people skillz. I put a z instead of the s there because im cool and purposefully mis spelling things is sometimes how i express my creativity.
