Andy, I have a Momo hub that bolts up to late column. It has a gap like the Dino hub. You can have it if you need a hub until you can find something else.

yes!
that would be very cool. i really like to keep my old momo, i like them much better than the new ones ...

Andy

Here's some pics of my Raid (Dino) hub

hey, Jeroen, where's your Car in that pic? all i can see is the Garage-Floor!

The missing pieces are piled up in a corner of the garage

cheers,

Jeroen

Well there is the problem. The hub from TC Racing has the spline in a completely different place.

hmmm, even if you remove the horn ring from the original?
it seems like without that, the position should be pretty close ...

Andy

Ok, maybe this is a stoopid suggestion, but did you try to mount the splined bottom of the hub upside down
(remove the 4 screws, turn the bottom part around, so the splined part goes into the hub)

cheers,

Jeroen

Those aren't scews they are casting holes. It can't be disassembled.

okay, here be some pics....

here is the top (front- the side facing the wheel)

I would swear I'm seeing 4 allen screws in your pic...

cheers,

Jeroen

Jeroen,

I see them too.

here is the side....w/ a gauge caliper for reference

here is the bottom view...the red arrows poit to the "indent" and the blue point to some sort of button thing
green arrow points to PN

markv, this is what you will be recieving

Jeroen,

You are correct. I was at work when I saw your post. Had a hard tome getting it apart, assembled w/ some kind of thread lock. If I flip it over the shaft doesn't come through the center far enough to get the washer & nut on. Doesn't change the "gap" very much either.

I looked at the photo of your column & mine looks the same.

Thanks

your hub looks like an early one.
that "button thing" is the contact for the horn, which is a springloaded graphite pin that rubs on the metal ring that goes on the streering column.
that is a early (pre '72) setup ...

later models have the horn-ring on the hub and a flat metal contact on the steering column.

Andy

Arron sent me a hub that I got to work.

It fit over the existing column but made contact w/ the turn signal & wiper switches so I had to cut it down 3/8".

It was drilled for 5mm screws so I had to tap it to 6mm.

Had to extend the horn ring 1/2" to make it work. The scews for the horn ring are 3.5mm and are hard to find.

I used the boot from the other hub, doesn't look so big that way.

Jereon & Malmz, I did get a response back from TC Racing. The hubs they sell are "for racing purposes only" w/ no provisions for horn or signal cancel.

Horn or cancellation wasn't really my issue, just the big-ass gap is. It seems like they don't know that their hubs don't fit all years of 914s (that there are different offsets) unless I'm missing something.

I need to take a pict of mine, but it looks like one of the other ones posted.

Congratulations on actually getting a response though! Wish they gave me that courtesy.....

This is what TC Racing had to say about the big ass gap:

Hi Mark, I spoke to our shop foreman regarding the problem you found. Marco is the one that had replied to your original inquiry letting you know that this hub would not allow a setup with no gap. He does not know of a way to fill the gap.
Also, it is dificult to install a horn with some of our hubs and this one is one of them.
Please keep in mind this IS a racing setup, not intended for street use.

I just went to the Momo website (www.momo.it).

Talk about a site that's an overdesigned, bandwidth-hogging, difficult to navigate POS.

Someone sure made their money designing THAT site. :finger2:

P.S. I have a big-ass gap on my hub adapter, too. But at least I have a horn and signals.

Rusty, I think Andy may have a hub that will fix your problem. He converted from an early column to a late column & has an early Momo adapter than won't work on his car. I sent him a late Momo adapter that has a big ass gap.

like i said.....glad to see ya got it to work. always good to see someone getting use out of something i cant


ps, anyone seen the GRANT steering wheels on ebay? kinda cool but pricey tho!
