Hi all,

As a first time 914 owner, I'm loving the car though need to do something about the steering wheel. I'm 6'2" and my legs are in the way of the stock wheel on my 76 2.0.

It looks like my best option might be a Momo wheel, with a 350 mm diameter. What else do I need to buy, other than the adapter?

Pick up a Momo adapter and JWest offset. It raises the steering wheel for more leg room and makes it easier to see the gauges with a smaller wheel.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I have this exact set up. JWest offset makes a big difference.

Thanks for the recommendations. They sound easier than having my legs shortened.

that is it, and the correct size for you. Just the adapter and the wheel, (the adapter comes with the horn button, but at one time momo made a porshe crest horn button which would be nice to have.) Make sure you save your original wheel though
