I'm on my second 8002 and it's not going on without a sledge hammer which means I'd need a slide hammer to get if off! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
First vendor suggested filing the innards to fit the shaft. I called BS on that as I've installed more MOMO hubs and wheels than I can remember. Fit has never been an issue. This is dead original very early '73 2.0. NRG and Classic Garage have options but what gives with the 8002's? |

I purchased one off ebay which was sold as "genuine Momo" it was very rough in finish and fit which I compared to the one I have off a Mk2 VW Golf...clearly not genuine and IMO most likely a pirate part. Contacted the seller and all I got was a nasty reply to my polite question,I was then forced to spend some time sorting it to fit , I was pretty pi#sed off TBH. |
