(IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) is my only description of the wheel hub I bought off a Momo dealer on ebay.
Following issues; 914 VDM horn contact ring won't fit correctly, hub spline is too thick,hub nut not fully on column shaft thread, hub earths on steering column,without spacer on shaft. Contacted the seller and he claims to have stated the stock horn contact ring may not fit in his auction,nothing to that effect,checked it,its so far out the cancel piece is a long way out from being centre on the RH side. No where on the box is "made in Italy",the instructions say so but these could be easily copied,really thinking its a Chinese "knock off",anyone had this issue. Vent over ok...anyone else had this issue. TIA  |

I thought that new hubs had to be collapsible, not solid anymore. The hub for my MOMO wheel is that type and I bought it years ago.

George I did see anything else other than the solid #8002 listed on Ebay for the 914,I notice the front of the hub around the spline has no machined face where the the nut and washer go ,that would explain why the nut won't thread fully on. I'am going to open up the hole where the horn wire goes so I can get the horn contact ring fitting closer to the 3 o'clock position. Now have little doubt it is a "knock off'' the more I look @ it. |
