I am currently looking at 2nd hand steering wheels , i have one in mind.. it is a sparco one which comes with a clio boss......Obviously this wont fit!!

Are 300 series bosses available or is it possible to fit a boss origionally designed for another car?


the steering wheels im lok ing at have the standard 6 bolt fitting



Cheers

What PCD are the bolts on the wheel you are looking at?

I'm not 100% sure but I think it'll be wrong, i've got a snap off boss that was listed for omp, sparco wheels etc, and it took a little *adapting* to get it to fit as the pcd was nowhere near the same, a mate also just bought a boss for his 200sx which said it'd fit sparco too and that was the smaller pcd. I think a 400 series boss will fit but you'll have to bodge the horn onto a button or something, i've done that with mine anyway and passes the MOT fine. I know most Mountney and Astrali wheels fit the large pcd boss

Luisi boss has the same 6-bolt pattern as the Momo has. Same which R-Sport wheels have etc.. Many Sparco and OMP wheels have the same pattern too.

Though there are variations of that 6-bolt pattern I've heard, but it's the most common one I guess.

I have a Luisi boss with my R-Sport wheel. Cost ~45€

This is the wheel I was looking at.......




Has a 6 bolt pattern .. unsure of PCD though

So you reckon a 440 one will fit maybe.. dont mind having a seperately mounted horn....

I imagine even a 440/460 boss is hard to find these days!

From looking at that i'd guess thats the smaller PCD, this is mine with the bodge I did (bolted wheel to plate then plate to snap off boss) so you can see the two different sizes there, also only had 4 bolts the right size for the smaller one

mine is a mountney with home made/bodge horn push:

The 400 series boss will fit but you need to change the bit that cancels the indicators. Also the wiring is different for the horn. On a 300 you have two track with sprung contacts. The 400 only has one and the earth is through the spline so that also needs changing.

Some of the 360 cup guys use peugeot 205 hubs, seems to work (no horn button either though). Sadly I cant even find one of those at a price that is fitting for my shitter, have a steering wheel waiting for over a year already..

The 205 hub sounds interesting.

I would love to get hold of one to see if it can be made to fit correctly.

Hmm as you say Dai... Interesting...

I would have thought that 205 hubs are easyish to get hold of as they are used a lot in stock hatch and stock hatch rallycross etc....

Will see if i can locate a cheapish one somewhere!

i know a few people with 205's,next time i see them i will ask if i can try it out. maybe a fews weeks though, unless when my bro comes back from scotland he can ring as i dont know their phone numbers!

the redline had a proper volvo 300 astrali boss that I picked up from ebay , they do come up from time to time ,
anyway Dave (Deblingblinghaveanotherburgerkay) has got it in his car now so he could check it out if anyone needs the number

found it

the markings on my boss for my 1989 1.7 340
are patent number 2022764 and reg des appn 985548

the astrali boss kit i had was a perfect fit its part number is AW159E and the box is marked volvo300 series sept '79 onwards

hope this helps

A quick search of the interwebnetthingy revealed this:
