So I received the steering wheel as part of the extra parts package when I purchased this car. Yes, I like the bone stock wheel but my son is too tall to drive it with the large diameter This steering wheel pretty small, but at least he fit his legs around it. Wouldn’t be my pic of Momo models but I’ve already got it so I’ll go that direction for now.
For 1971 model year 4 cylinder

Ebay has a nice generic/universal unbranded hub for $55.
If you can't find it I'll look it up.

Make sure you get the hub that is correct for your year 914.

Thanks Bruce
I think 1970 and 71 need a unique hub.

Try searching for a hub made by Luisi of Italy. That's what I am using on my early 1970 model year 914 and it works great with a MOMO steering wheel.

You will need the momo part number 8000. The 8002 number will not fit. Like the one is these pics. Sorry, I don't have one. This was on my old 70 I had some years ago.

Yes, that looks like the one I bought. The hole for the horn contact was not correctly drilled in the Luisi hub. I gave up trying to make it work and put a button in the dash to operate the horn. In my case, even the stock steering wheel would not work the horn correctly, so I decided the hell with it, so it was easy for me to give up trying to make the original VW-Porsche design for the horn button contact work, which was sketchy at best. At least, in my opinion. Others may have different opinions of the original 914 horn contact design on the early cars.

I had the same problem with the Luisi hub on my 1971 column. Couldn't make the horn work even with original '71 horn ring and insulator. Maybe others have a fix that works but I ended up with the horn on the dash. Not ideal.
