Hey guys:
Anyone know what are the obstacles, if any, installing a 911 steering wheel is a 914? I want it to work the turn signals and the horn. Thanks! Attached image(s)

You can make it work, but you have to modify it. The splines are different.
I ran a 911 wheel in my 914 for a while. I made it work by removing the 911 wheel from its hub, and then installing the wheel onto a Momo adapter. The Momo adapter fit right under the factory housing, so from the outside, the modified wheel looked completely stock. But I don't run it anymore. While the 911 wheels are nice in a 911, I found it to be a bit too big for the interior of a 914. So I went with a Prototipo, which I love.

I put a 3 spoke from a '78SC in my '71 and I didn't have to do anything with the splines, they fit fine. I did have to do a little work and make a new brass contact ring that fits in the column for the horn contact and also make a contact plunger that is longer. The SC steering wheel has a "crush" extention on it and to cover this I used various peices from the SC and the 914 to fab the cover. It is a bit of work but it can be done.
