I believe the hub may have been discontinued so you may have to try eBay or some used parts recyclers. I believe folks with enough fabrication skills have used the stock wheel hub after removing the wheel by grinding out the rivets and then tapping holes for the Momo wheel. Quite involved but you may have few options.

Perhaps place a WTB post in the classified forum to see if anyone has a spare one available?

You can probably find one on ebay.

The Momo adapter for 70-early 71 914s is no longer made. Finding a used one may be difficult. A recent thread dealt with this:

When I still have the 71 1.7 megasquirt, i planned installing momo steering wheels that have 0230 hub because it came from a 914-6. 8000 is the hub for momo for early 914-4 based on my research. Well took more than a year searching for used one until I sold the car. Solved my problem because I dont have that 71 car.
Hope someone who has the hub you want will end up going back to stock steerinf wheel and sell the early hub.

Agree with Noel, the momo part number you need is #8000. The #8002 will not fit. They pop up every so often here, but you have to be fast. Found mine on eBay about a year ago for $350. Just the price of hunting NLA parts....

Yes exactly,found 2 early ones on ebay,late are 8002 as stated,don't quote me but I think the early ones are small spline and a golf one may be the same or beetle of that era.
The early ones I found were a fair price ,but guess they are for the six only,seems that way.

Bummer, thought that I had one for you. But I checked my stock and what I have is an early solid 8002 for the later cars.

In order to mount a quick disconnect and a Momo on my -6 I did what was mentioned above: removed the factory hub from and early 911 wheel then tapped it for the Momo pattern. It worked flawlessly.

I had the same problem finding one. Finally found one here.

i was going to try to find a grant or racemark hub and use an adaptor. There are adapter rings available on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grant-3-hole-to-Mo..._GQ&vxp=mtr

This is what I have started doing on my current 914 and did on my previous one as well.

My first 914 I cut the steering wheel center hub and attached the MOMO wheel directly to this. The downfall to this is that you don't have a nice transition from the turn signal switches to the MOMO steering wheel. there is a black plastic ring behind the steering wheel that fills in the "void" and makes a nice transition here.

On my current 914 I am trying to keep the "stock" look and have begun designing the below adapter. The 6 holes match up with the MOMO steering wheel and run the entire length of the adapter. The plan is to tap the holes so the MOMO steering wheel attaches and then you can bolt the adapter to the 914 steering wheel center section. A little modification needs to be done to the center section to complete the design so the horn button can be used, but all in due time. The horn button will be a press fit as it seems MOMO designed it this way to begin with.

Has anyone tried installing a later upper column to an earlier car? Is it a bolt-on?

Yeah, doesn't really sound worth it just to be able to use the Momo 8002.

What is the Momo hub model # for later cars... .say, a 1975?

I may be looking for one soon. Is that hub still being produced?

I just put one on my '73. Bought the momo hub (8002) and prototipo wheel from Amazon. Shipping was free with Prime.
