...by TUV over here in Germany!!

It's like...ONE, other than the stock! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

So it looks like I will be installing a Momo Prototipo, 35 cm wheel. No dish(ing) to it, not allowed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

I hope it will allow for my left leg to get beneath it with clearance. Again, my sport seats which I want to keep are robbing me of space.

I will also try to shimmy up the column a wee bit to raise it some more, as suggested by Porsche930Dude in this thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=254843

But alas! Here is my question / request!

TUV will not approve the wheel if there is not a clear view of the gauges, especially the odometer!

Does anybody have a 35mm Momo hub that they could please take a moment to post a photo of...regarding the view of the dash from the driver's perspective? I would be much obliged. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks!

Mike in Munich

For certain you will block the gauges with a 350mm steering wheel. My wheel is an old 370mm Momo Prototipo and it partially blocks the view of the gauges on the top left and top right of the wheel.

I suggest you look for a factory wheel or a 380mm wheel. For example:

Ditto. I have a brand new 350mm Prototipo with Momo adapter and a 1" extension, and it completely blocks the upper left oil temp gauge and the entire upper right of the speedometer. Really nice-looking wheel but I'm actually giving serious thought to selling the whole setup and going back to the stock steering wheel.
