914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Momo steering wheel

Posted by: spunone Aug 8 2007, 03:26 PM

I'm looking at a Momo steering wheel with a 90mm dish to it which puts the wheel closer to the driver. Anyone have a similar wheel? and is being closer a problem? Me thinks it would be easier to get in and out of the car and also better view of the gauges. But what about comfort when driving Thanks

don't forget the momo adapter is going to put it even a bit closer still

I'm a little guy (but still taller than CLAY) , so I am not a fan of the closer wheel

I love the feel and the size of my MoMo!!

Mine's not dished, but the adapter brought the wheel back to me a bit. I think you can get an adapter that is an inch longer still.

As for seeing the gauges; the smaller diameter wheel actually makes it harder for me to see the speedo, but I can still see the tach, and my tires throw the speedo off anyway...

How much more will the hub adapter bringit out??

It seems like I saw a couple of different sizes when I was shopping (like maybe from 2" to like 3") and I just noticed Pelican has a 1/2" momo extension as well. I'm not sure how far mine came back; actually the stock wheel sticks out from where it mounts by more than I would have expected, so it might not be much closer, but it's easier to get in and out the car and feels way better when you're driving.

Technically speaking; I guess that's pretty subjective... not much help is it?

Paul,
It sounds like Joe is having a on Friday night (check narp).
You should come buy and check one out in person.

I just bought the 1" adaptor off of ebay for $31 shipped. It is an extender for the actual adaptor. HTH

So you want your wheel closer to you?with the 90mm dish on the wheel I was lookin at it will bring it out about 3,5 inches think this is to much?

My Adapter is 2.5" and it didn't bring it out much, but a Prototipo is otherwise, pretty flat.

I needed the spacer because my wheel is flat ang the adapter only brought it out to where the turn signal switch was 1/8" from the wheel. Sucked to turn.

Im running a V35 MOMO (its an older model) with the stock adapter @ 73mm (2.87") and no spacer it puts the steering wheel at a pretty good distance and mine is at a approx 40mm (1.57") offset the wiper switch doesn't get in the way but its close to it. The wheel is an 13" or i think 350mm.

by the way i am about 6'4" so im not a little guy.

I love my MOMO its been great and very comfortable. mind you that i had no problem with the stock wheel but it was a little to big for me to be able to get into the car.

as for the gauges i can see them for the most part the very top where the turn signal indicator lights are blocked by the steering wheel but i can pretty much see the tach and the Speedo.

hell mine is WAY out there(Momo adapter, 30mm spacer AND a quick release @ 1" +{-}) but I unfortunately cannot give a clue as to whether or not its too close...BUT FOR RACING IT'LL BE GOOD i AM SURE.
