300mm steering wheel and hub

[Austin-182]

thought i would post some pics of my christmas present from my gf, its the omp trecento 300mm
have had a problem with it as when i went to fit it, the hold on the hub isnt big enough for the wires to fit through!!?? ive been told it is the right one and should fit so hopeing someone can clear up for me that their hub was different and im not just stupid??

 

[Austin-182]

have my pics uploaded?

 

[chrispy.clio]

yes i can see them. If your boss doesnt fit then it doesnt fit. so send it back and demand your money back.

Take some pictures of the boss not fitting and send it to the company.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Yes, and you should be ok, that looks like the same hub as mine on a similar wheel.

 

[Nick r26r]

yes your pics are up , looks like a nice wheel

 

[Austin-182]

cheers, it looks tiny in real life! it defo doesnt fit, ive told the company i want a refund, now jus need to find were to get a different from, ive heard people have no problems with momo

 

[peppemanca]

hi there. ive got a momo team 300 mm wheel with momo boss and have no problems at all.. my favorite mod by far!

cool cheers mate, any pics on car? and were did u get the boss from?

 

[denko182]

maybe a stupid question but what do you guys do with the cruise control buttons when you change the steering wheel?

im just going to leave the wires in the boss mate, i dont use it anyway so not going to miss it, could allways conect it again if i put the standard one back on. have seen some people rlocate the wires though but i couldnt do that myself lol

300 will be tiny! I think 330mm is the smallest to go really! Wheel looks nice though

Get a momo boss, i've had no probs, infact i mightknow of one for sale within the next week (not mine)!!! PM me if you like

thanks mate, 2 ov me mates have got the same one and i love the way it looks and feels wen driving, makes the normal one look like a bin lid lol

That wheel is an omp targa. I have the same one & the same boss and my wires fit through. Mine is a ph1 172 though.

 

[Jordi17]

look nice mate are u gone fit it urself?

 

[Aluco]

Actually I lie they're different. Mine has a yellow rally stripe at the top.

lol i thort so, ive thort about modin it ot have the yellow on top lol

 

[Austin-182]

cheers mate, yes with my mate, we had it all ready the other week but boss is wrong one and wires wouldnt go through so had to put the renault one back on and put the airbag back in

 

[Rob]

That wheel is gorgeous though tbh!! Hope you get it to fit, looks lovely. Does it have a horn button?

Oh, and aluco isn't it totally different to yours? i.e Different material aswell? (looks like leather and yours is suede?)

 

[peppemanca]

lol nah ive not mate, never posted a pic up on this yet. im the same as u. i think it feels amazing. hate driving anything else now because of it. i kind of wish i baught the 280 mm one lol. think it looks real track style. got the boss online somewhere, all priced about the same.

 

[James.f]

Dont you only need to fit the horn through the Boss kit? surely that gap would be enough to fit them through right

 

[Austin-182]

yea mate the middle of the wheel, if you can see in the top pic in the corner there a black circle that fits in the middle of the wheel and pushes in for the horn

 

[Austin-182]

Dont you only need to fit the horn through the Boss kit? surely that gap would be enough to fit them through right

im not sure mate, were would the rest of the wires go though? dont they have to be wraped up inside the boss? lol i know what ya mean tho, now im wondering myself, but im sure they have to go through else thers no wer else for then to go

 

[Gaz_]

You could just cut and rejoin the horn plug actually...... Airbag shizzle just needs resistoring and taping up in the boss

lol i thought about 280 but thought it might just be to small lol, i cant wait to get it on i hate mine now knowing ive got this to go on...not that my cars moved in this snow anyway lol

 

[James.f]

Well the other two connection are for the airbag in the steering wheel, so leave them behind the boss(steering collum cover's will hide them) and just feed the horn wire in.

yea its the airbag wires i cant do anything with, the big grey end bits on them are twice the size of the hole on this hub, did u use resistors? do you know if i fit without resisters and the lights on the dash, if i then put resisters in or is it a case of if the light comes on thers no way to get it off unless i pay renault?

would that work though because that ring wer the wire come through needs to go round and if i left the wires out then they would be overlapping that ring so wouldnt it not be able to move around?

 

[Gaz_]

x2 4ohm resistors (well anything from 2-6 ohm will do) If you dont fit them the light will be on. The light clears when the fault does, so no need to go to Reanult if it didnt work first time

 

[Austin-182]

but if i then fit them at a later time would the light go off again?

If your on about the black part on the steering collum that spins round then the wires wont overlap, as you turn left that will follow so making the wires to follow.

You can just leave the airbags in there tbh, thats what im planning on doing tommorow when my boss kit arrives, you dont HAVE to fit resistors for the airbag connections because the Mot doesnt rely airbags to be working

 

[Austin-182]

lol, cool cheers, at least i know i can fit it without having to do the resistors strate away. easy enuff to do the resistors?

yes but were would those wirs sit, i dont want them hanging out, if i was to do a full turn the wires wouldnt keep going round with the wheel?
if you make this work take pics while your doing it lol? then il know what you mean

 

[Gaz_]

Push em in, tape them up. Trip to maplins, about 20p each lol.

They sit in the boss. The airbag wires are connected to the airbag ring. This spins with the boss, so nothing crosses over.

Like this

Resistors go in the x2 airbag connectors (ignore the fused resistor in hand lol)

Horn connector is pushed down into the boss there. I'd simply get some spade connectors, connect to your horn, then connect to the horn connector (cut off and keep in safe place if need be)

 

[James.f]

Well they would be under the cover of the steering collum, you could always cable tie them if you want to stop movement.

Ye no problem, il show how iv done it, i might get same problem as you if i do il just solder the wires together after pushing them through ha

 

[Aluco]

Cheap maplins resistors don't work.
/speaking from experience.

 

[Rob]

What ones do then dude?

i thort so lol, ideal il have a trip ther, get a few incase i mess it up lol
