Steering wheel issues

[moosey]

I\'ve an FD boss that will allow a Momo wheel to be fitted. I\'ve just changed the wheel on mine to a removable type so I can get in with the cage and bucket seat. Was going to ebay it, but you could have it for £15 quid.
It will definatley allow a Momo to be fitted as that is the type of wheel I have. Lovely alcantara one, mmm hairy.

Cool Tony, definitely interested as long as I understand this right,
(Still don\'t have the car so don\'t know how this works)
My car\'s a 92 UK FD, the wheel a Momo Team 300mm
All I have to do is take the standard wheel off, remove hub,
put on boss, put on wheel.
Have I got that right?  Or do do you put the boss onto the hub?

Is there any welding or drilling involved with what I\'m talking about?

Please forgive my ignorance!

Do you have a Paypal account Tony?

No welding or drilling - the item I have bolts to the column via the single centre nut on the end of the column) and then the wheel bolts to the othe end which will accomodate a momo wheel. No welding or drilling.

And paypal?

Tony are you going for a weld on version?

Dont forget mine makes the wheel removable!!!   Makes it so much easier to get in and out!!!

[D1 WTF]

oi i want yours just cant afford it right now

[TonyC]

I\'ve got a bolt on but it is good and sturdy, anyway with my delicate touch I could steer it with a silken thread clutched between forefinger and thumb
Have you ever tried the one finger test to gauge how little force you need to steer at speed. On a nice open airfield try a corner at 80mph and only steer with one finger resting on the top of the wheel - guide with the finger but allow the wheel (and the subsequently the tires) to squirm and find their own path. It freaks passengers out to steer a perfect line with a single finger on the wheel. Amazing stuff car dynamics.

Anyway -- paypal: racingmg4sale@yahoo.co.uk  (can I do this as a non member?)

I\'d say if anyone is fitting a cage/race seat in their RX they need a removable wheel. It is bleeding hard getting in with a fixed wheel.

Well since I have no (current) ambition to put in a roll cage
and I got a nice small steering wheel that\'ll do nicely......

Check email Tony.

I have a feeling D1 has just got it anyway

Ive been spending money today with tweeks

[TonyC]

Nice, got any good bits :mmmm
I\'ve spent this evening entangled in ignition wires trying to dismantle the remains of a thatcham category alarm.
I need some new gauges and master switch, ignition swith, starter button, etc to build into a replacment dash panel now.

[AtomicRex]

I think Tweeks were selling off the dash as I use for really cheap!  SPA Micro Dash.

Great not to have any guages....less to go wrong and independent to everything else!!

I am having a Carbon Fibre Dash made to replace the crappy plastic thing.......Gary at Rotaryart will be selling them soon
