Depends on what boss kit you purchased really. Some have provision for the clock spring.

I have one of these http://www.driftworks.com/hkb-steeri...hi-subaru.html

This has a plastic part inside the boss that fits over the lugs on the clock spring.

You fit it at your own risk, probably need to mod wires to fit, manually wire horn and need to turn airbag off.
I bet it fits like **** tbh if it's cheap.
Hkb is the proper boss.

Don't know until you try fit it. You won't have auto cancel indicators if you do.
Is it a crap momo or sparco one?
Test fit it and see, or if it were me I'd throw it in bin and buy a proper one. Buy correct one first time instead of buying twice.

Also you need a 3.3ohm resistor from maplins 29p to fit in the airbag plug, disconnect battery first fit resistor, mine worked a treat ��
