Having already received one Momo solid hub that wouldn't go on the steering shaft, on the recommendation of a gent who I buy tools and custom Porsche parts from I tried Amazon for what was purported to be a MOMO 8002 solid hub.
What showed up from "LTB Autosports" turned out NOT TO BE a solid hub as advertised. Anyone can plainly see from the measurements this one wouldn't ever work regardless of configuation. Before I raise the white flag I'm open to suggestions. Jimmy Tidwell made some of these at one time but as the market was covered he prefers to make things you cannot easily buy. OTOH, Ive got a half dozen cool period wheels looking for a car.

It doesn't look like the old Momo hub would be all that hard to replicate—914 Rubber or another vendor to the rescue?
I wish I had kept my extra, but it was just gathering dust. Had a sense they were thin on the ground, but not this thin. |

Pete: I'm in but without even considering liability issues I think it would be a low volume loser. For what would have to be charged I'm guessing most 914 owners will go the collapsible route. Find some enthusiastic young car nut in engineering school. The school in question should have enough clout to own 3D scanners, 3D printers and a CNC machine. There's your hub.

Yeah, the "L" word probably makes this a loser all by itself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Would be interesting to know if someone could "print" a blank with a plan that could be finish-machined by the end user? I dunno. Just trying to come up with a solution. The collapsible adapters certainly look like the safer call, though not sure how much safer or less safe either Momo hub with a Momo wheel is vs the stock wheel with nothing collapsible at its hub? |
