Aftermarket Steering Wheel Users! (big favour)
Hi guys as you all know I have a Leggy but getting bits for it aren't as easy as for the Imp although a lot of pieces are interchangeable, the Aftermarket parts that are said to fit are few and far between.
This is the favour, as I have been looking for a boss that will fit my car for ages so that I can put my steering wheel on. the only one's that I can find listed for my car are these:
http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Applic...d=41429-1766-C
Now ok they might fit but look like something from the 70's in fact I have the MOMO one on the Mexico!
These Items are also listed to fit the Imp so my guessing is that what should fit the Imp should fit the Leggy, But no one I speak to is willing to sell me a part that isn't listed for the Leggy and then take it back if it doesn't fit?
"I JUST WANNA FIT MY WHEEL!"
So anyway the big FAVOUR is will anybody who has an aftermarket let me try it?
Help would be muchly appreciated,
Russ!

I have a spare works bell hub that has a crack around the splines, but you are more than welcome to borrow it and try for fitment although I'm away for another week

Take my cracked works bell one and tinker with it, you may find the design of the WB gives yiu more freedom to tweak it. You can also check out the wiring that comes with it, but the horn should be easy.

That would be really handy, do you still run a aftermarket?
Just seeing the way its wired up might give me a clue?
Anytime your free please mate, if you could Pm your Postcode and best time to pop round.
Ta,

Ok now I need to say a massive THANKS to JonMc as without him my car would still look like a throw back to the 60's!
New wheel fitted!
I know the horn says TYPE R but will change that ASAP!
We finally found a Boss that would fit without loosing my indicator delete and my horn! So Pete if you wanna get a new Boss you need a Works Bell but you would need to get back all the stuff that was taken out to fit your set up?
Jon Mate on the way home stopped at that NUT&BOLT place and got some better Allen key bolts, needed to take the wheel back of anyway as it wasn't straight whilst driving, dunno how that happened as made sure wheels were straight before taking it off? also pulled the dash out to remove the air bag bulb which was handy as my MPH sticker was starting to peal off so stuck that back on JOB DONE!
Also fitted the Richbrook Gear ****! That also was a task as had to Dremel out the centre so it would fit!!!
Jon how did the drop off go hope all is well?
