911 & 914 have the same spline. If you are using a 911 steering shaft it would be best to use a wheel from a 70 or 77, 914. No mods required. The later wheels require a small mod and the fit is ok but not perfect because of a chamfered shaft vs flat.


Reason I ask is my car has a Momo adapter, a quick release, and a Prototipo wheel....hmmm

SNF: will the connection going to the stock switch reach the left side switch after install ? Or does the connector require lengthening ?

The fog light switch will move to the right side

@sixnotfour

Reviving this interesting simpler option thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

1- Was there a specific reason for using a 75-76 column? Was it because the clam shell is plastic? Would a 75-76 plastic clamshell fit a 73-74 column?

2- What was the requirement for using the 73-74 lock assembly and the 75-76 bezel? Look?

3- You machined an aluminum (or steel?) plate that would be mounted on the backside (?) of the dash supporting the assembly? How is the ignition cylinder held to the aluminum (steel?) plate?

4- The angled ignition housing was cut from the aluminum column casting and the clam shell, how was the clamshell rebuilt with its now cylindrical look?

Sorry for all these questions... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Thanks!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

My 914 is a 76..
earlier columns can be done the same way..
I have a mold for a resin piece and one screw holds it in place.
Epoxied in a filler piece.

Mine works great; (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And fog light switch is just to the right of the steering column. The blue button is a Start switch.
