I thought I had all the parts for this swap but now I’m not sure. First off when I mocked the parts up I noticed my contact ring is toast.
I also went with the J West adapter to bring the wheel out and up a bit. I know the wire from the contact ring goes up through the hub and connects to the center tab on the horn button, and I thought the other tab on the horn button grounded to the silver ring that sits under the wheel. But after putting this together I’m not sure . And after putting the horn button in the wheel, it does not seat properly. What holds the horn button in anyway? Also, is the blinker canceling tab mounted at the 3 o clock position if the wheel is straight? Attached thumbnail(s) |

I installed a MOMO Prototypo steering wheel recently and used the contact ring from the original wheel. It attached using pre-drilled holes in the adapter and everything works fine – including the horn. Mine is 350 mm (vs 380 mm for the stock wheel, I believe) and that size seems perfect; I don’t think I would want it any smaller. I did have to elongate the recess in the MOMO hub adapter for the plastic horn lead protector, as it was cast in slightly the wrong place in relation to the holes for the horn ring. I noticed that the adapter that you are using looks different from the one I used, yours being somewhat elongated when viewed from the end – mine is round. Maybe they gave you the wrong hub adapter?
