(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 would be suspect of anything being sold from China. Buy used or NOS if you can. momo has the date stamp on the back. I have the solid mount I bought off ebay about 6 years ago. No issues with fit. My wheel I bought over 10 years ago from ebay in Japan. Seen many ads from the seller over the years. He sells a lot of wheels. I love the 350mm size. Perfect for stalk controls and arm rest distance. The car came with a 320mm and it was too small. Picked up a matching momo shift knob.
