catflap Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 At the stoneleigh kit car show I saw a few cars that had the momo style steering wheels fitted , (the 3 bolt type), Can someone point me in the direction of where I can get a boss to fit one. Westfield don’t sell them (I just called) The Catering van one don’t fit (just been to demon tweaks to check) Another option is to use the Catering van one, and drill out the spline hole and get it re cut to mate the allegro column, is this possible?(seems like a lot of work, and i dont know who can do it. Or to drill and fix in the existing section from my boss into the catering van boss (could be messy ) I don’t really want to goto a snap off, I don’t want to spend a hundred pounds if a billet piece of alloy will do the job for a fifth of that cost. Thanks all Any suggestions greatly appreciated Catflap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbin Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Like this I guess..? Sorry Cat, I can't be anymore help, but thought an illustration might help clarify! Mines on a q/r boss, but as you can see has 3 holes. As you can also see is well used so I guess things maybe different now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catflap Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 Thanks Chris That’s what I have, but I want to fit that without a quick release, read original post for the ideas I have for fitting, none perfect L I am sure I saw a few cars with a 3 hole boss Pics attached of Mrs flap glamorously modelling the new wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregh Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 can't u just use the existing boss or a westie one? My standard westie one looked like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick M Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Well, for what it's worth, I bought my boss from Westfield when I bought the kit back in 1996. Maybe they just stopped getting them made ?? It was a cast aluminium thing with splines that fitted the Allaggro column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Demon Thieves or SPA Race Tech perhaps - if they make them for Q/R systems there must surely be an equivalent for permanently fixed. I got my SPA system from Westfield about 1994 (ish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
