modifying a steering boss

[cantfindausername]

I know some people are going say not to do it, leave it alone, safety safety whatever, but I want to shorten a MOMO steering wheel boss.

I've seen them on various cars, and they extend the distance quite a lot from the wheel to the indicator stalks from that of where the stock wheel sits.

I'm just wondering if anyone has ever reworked one of these to give a more stock appearance & feel to where the wheel sits in relation to the column/controls etc.

Thanks,
Ant

if you look on ebay i think you will find a shorter hub which will save you the trouble of modding that one

I had the same issue - the steering wheel boss was putting the wheel too close to me.

There is a neat solution however, buy a quick release steering boss for the bar. These replace the momo boss, are only about an inch thick, and mean you can remove the steering wheel when parked up... I'll try and take a photo of mine tomorrow.

Bought it off ebay for 50 quid - well worth it - specially as I dont need a steering wheel clamp now lol!

Hi Brian
do you have a link to the type you bought please ?

all the ones i can find say that you need the after market boss and that the quick release attaches to this ,so that would make the boss even bigger
i must be looking at different ones do you have any pictures yet
