Momo wheel and boss purchase / install questions Options

[dale73914]

Hey All,

I recently purchased a Momo Prototipo and fitted it using a boss i bought ages ago.
I didnt realise until i unpacked it that the boss was very basic, had no signal cancel / horn components ( expecting me to disassemble and reuse the parts from my current wheel ), and was a bad fit around the column ( it left a 1/2 inch gap ).
Oh, and the horn button didnt fit as the boss nor wheel came with a horn trim ring.

So what to do, i jumped on ebay and bought myself a MOMO MC8002 boss, and going by the photo in the ad, i was expecting it to look like the one in the ad, trim ring, wider boss body ( even if it was just plastic around a metal frame ) , and going by photo's on the web, the cancel extension was cast in, and a trim ring supplied.


It turned up today, and im not sure if i have what i should have.
The boss that arrived is an MOMO A8002 and is very basic like my original one, expecting me to disassemble my existing wheel for parts... Not what i really wanted to do.

If all that is available is what they sent me , and the model numbers mean nothing, then fine, im not really happy, but what is...is....

If they have sent me a different ( older maybe ) version, then i would like to know, so i can email them and see what can be done.

The Momo one i have does have one plus over the crappy Isotta one i bought ages ago, the Momo horn button fits in the hole properly.



Now, next questions.

Im assuming i cut the wire running from the horn contact ring to the horn button and put a spade connector on the end , so i can get the horn working ? What happens to the other connector, will the boss carry the current ( if i earth it up against the boss by jamming the wire end between the boss and the horn button plastic body ?


If i didnt want to cut my existing contact ring, can i buy a replacement one and leave my original steering wheel intact ? At a cheapish price ? Im in Australia, so online purchases are my friend.....


Any help with tips to make installing it smooth sailing would be appreciated, i like doing things once, and properly ...


Cheers
