Default Snap off steering wheel kit and steering wheel bot adapter


NRG Short hub


NRG snap off boss

Hello all
I am currently looking into fitting a snap off steering wheel kit on my hawk sti, thinking of a NRG kit. Now it is my understanding as well that as the snap off kit i will also need a steering wheel boss adapter for the snap off kit to bolt onto. Ideally i would like a short hub type as i'd prefer to keep from moving the wheel to far back. Any recommendations for a short hub boss adapter. Thanks

Works bell are very good, I went for a snap off with a slim body.
Excellent bit of kit with zero play but a word of warning, you will feel a lot closer to the wheel and for me was too uncomfortable.
I was using a nardi wheel that was almost flat with a small dish.

Sold it and went back to a standard wheel after a few months.

Glad I bought the works bell as I pretty much got my money back.

Try a company called playskool

hawk sti will need the squib left on so it can tell steering wheel postsion or it will effect the dccd

from memory I used a 2008 NRG hub Bose to get around this problem as it leaves room for a squib behind it

Default Beg short hub

Hi I see you mentioned the nrg short hub for 2008 and I was wondering if this short hub would fit my 2002 bugeye - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182485388218 would it fit the spline and clock spring? Just seems so much easier and less hassle than the the one advertised for the 2002.
thanks

Thanks for the tip mate, did you just go straight onto hub or use a snap off kit.

I have the HKB boss/NRG GEN 2.5/flat wheel combo. Plus the NRG locking cover.

Works a treat. Love it.
