Based on the cancel ring on it I would say late. Is there a part number on it? Momo 8002 are late style. 8000 are early .

What's wrong? Is it the spline pattern? Is there a big gap between the hub and the column?
BTW, I believe Raid steering wheels use the 74mm Nardi bolt pattern rather than the 70mm Momo. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/stebok.net-12234-1467576845.1.jpg) |

I've got the same issue. I have a hub that is supposed to be for an early car. But there ends up being a large gap between the hub and column. It won't slide past the clip at the end of the spline. I guess I need one that has the part that slides over the spline further up in the hub a deeper hub). Is your car an early? Ours is a '72.

It also looks like the signal light canceller is not long enough.. |

Sounds like you both have the same problem. There is an early adapter (supposedly) on Ebay that's reasonably priced - $48.50. I have no experience with it or the seller ... just passing the information along. Works for both Nardi and Momo bolt patterns:

I think I'm just going to live with the 1/2" gap between the hub and column. But I think it's worth it, as I love my new wheel! a much better feel and grip over the stock wheel IMO.
