Momo steering wheel swap, Need help Options

[Morph914]

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?

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?

The elongated part you are seeing is the JWest eccentric adapter, this moves the wheel out and up a bit. I am 6’2” and the stock wheel would rub on my knees, this is supposed to help with that.
I too am using the stock horn contact ring, I’m just having trouble with the horn button. If I don’t use the shinny metal grounding ring between the wheel and hub, the horn button fits in the wheel flush but nothing holds it in place. When I use the grounding ring the horn button sits proud of the wheel. As noted above there is a piece that can fit over the button that attaches to the wheel with longer screws, but I don’t really like how that one looks. I may have to get a different horn button.
