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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) Thanks Tom PS: Box is marked 89-97 Mazda Miata but also has a MOMO 8002 sticker "for Porsche" on it. |

Well it is a problem when you consider the horn ring contact that is in the steering column.
You can see where the factory pin rides up on the most out part of the ring. With the Luisi placement, the horn contact pin would ride in the same area where the 4 holes for the screws reside that hold the contact ring into the steering column. You'd either bend or break off the horn contact ring as you turned the steering wheel when the pin would hit the heads of the screws on the contact ring. Or you might not even be able to turn the steering wheel as the contact pin hit the screw heads on the contact ring. Not a good thing in either way.... You can see the issue in the below pic. The location of the contact pin is not far enough from the center of the hub. In fact, you can see the hole just peaking out towards the center of the hole of the contact ring (yellow arrow). |
