Default Steering wheel boss help......

I have a sparco wheel I am trying to fit to my 2005 blob widetrack.


I bought what I thought would have been the boss - this one:


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1516797632...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT


However behind the original wheel is the plug sections which stick out for the airbag & horn control - the hub will not fit with these and the holes in the hub do not fit the pins on the plastic centre:

Any help with what hub I actually need????




Cheers!

Hkb boss hubs are the ones to go for.
All these others require modding

Cheers for the help!

238 will be fine as that's what's sold commonly, a 239 will be very hard to source, but the 239 is the shift light one

No as it has the ribbon cable in for the airbag and horn electrics. It is a nightmare if it unspools.

If you use a crap boss kit like momo sparco etc they yes, clock sprung will have to come off or mod boss to fit as non of them are correct .
To do it properly and have horn, turn airbag light off, cancel indicator. You need a proper boss like hkb
