I have been lusting over this wheel for awhile now and am all ready to purchase but when I went to order it and the Momo hub kit to go along with it I can only find kits available for 914-6 (1970-72) and 914-4 (1972-76). Am I out of luck when it comes to the Momo wheel for my '71?

There is a hub for your car, contact Jonathan at GPR and I'm sure he can get you set up with one.

You need a different hub. The later -4 hub will work but there will be an ugly gap.
The hub you need is NLA. I had one for sale about a year ago but those are pretty rare. Search my posts for a picture with dimensions.

You might check with Snap-Off steering systems. I bought a quick release from them for use with a Prototipo last year. Seems like they make various adapters, their customer service was very good. Try emailing them.

Found it!

And thanks to our Geman exchange student from last year it is on it's way. Thanks again for everyone's help.

I hope you post a picture when you’ve finished the installation. I too would like a Prototipo, but I have a feeling it will obscure too much of the speedometer.

Will do!

What you want is to add the jwest eccentric adapter - it will offset the wheel just enough to make the gauges usably obscured.

If you do a search on ebay for Luisi Porsche hub, you'll find the the one I used. When you go to the page, there's a chart for various Porsche hubs. What the early 4 cylinder uses is a model S5904. It's a Luisi, $70. Came in a couple of days.

You can't see it too well, but it fits nicely!

Here is mine too, I really love the look and it feels and looks just right in the cars

I've been longing for a silver Prototipo steering wheel as well. I have a 1972 914/4 manufactured 5/72. Do you know if I need the early Luisi type hub or will my car need the later style? I know these cars went through some changes in 8/72 with the brakes and front suspension but I'm not sure about the steering wheel hubs.

Alex, I dig those floor mats. Would you post another photo of them?
