Fitting a momo boss to a 182

[George182]

Right, so I followed the guide for fitting the boss and it all went swimmingly.

However, now I have put it all back together the boss seems to be rubbing on the 'clock spring' (at least I think that's what it is)

Do I need it? I had to move it out of the way to change indicator stalks and it all went on snugly.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

If I can't find a solution today I'll have to wack the old wheel on for now

 

[George182]

Right - the boss now fits after removing that plastic 'thing'.

But..... I now have serv and traction control lights on.

Any ideas about what I may have done whilst fiddling with the steering column that could have cause this?

 

[George182]

Anyone?

Possibility that you have broke your steering angle sensor.

 

[George182]

I think that may have been the part I took off. But the boss doesn't fit with it in place?

I had a similar issues where the boss wouldn't line up at first. I broke mine, I think when fitting it, it was turned to many times and it doesn't like it. I got another one from a Phase 2 172 with traction control, fitted it and sorted my problems out. The boss fitted much better the 2nd time round as well, not even sure what was done different to make it fit better.

This is what it looks like.

Hmmmm thanks for your help mate.

I had to remove the front portion of that set up (it just unclips) because the boss was rubbing.

it fits perfectly without - dammit.

​ill take a picture when I get home

I uv taken the above part to pieces you will deffinatly need a new one!

 

[George182]

The clock spring is still comfortably intact etc etc.

​Ill get a picture

​It would be easily reattached, but the boss doesn't clear it The damage:

 

[George182]

Would it be a sensible solution to file down the bottom part of the boss?
​

 

[George182]

Also (sorry for the 1million questions), because the abs isn't functioning does that mean the brake force is now 50/50 front to rear?

 

[George182]

Anyone?

Surely I can't be the only one to have had trouble with a Momo boss?

 

[Mosley182]

Alright mate I did the same as you. I have found replacing the stalks with the built in angle censor I'm going to try it & will let you no how it goes.
