Steering wheels

Post by Aus323i »

Will an E30 hub fit onto an E21 or will an adapter have to be used to make it fit?

Cheers

How annoying, I was actually looking at an M-tech 2 steering wheel to fit.
How have other members fitted such wheels as Momo/Nardi?

With a hub for sport / racing steering wheels like this one:

Even though it represent a extra cost to add to the costs of a steering wheel almost all steering wheels will fit the hub as the bolt pattern are more or less standarlized. If you have the hub you can choose amongst alot of steering wheels from retro and oldschool ones to modern F1 type ones..

So does that boss enable a later BMW wheel (I've got one in my garage but I'm not sure what it's from, most likely e30 or e28) to fit onto an e21? It physically fits on currently, but wobbles about which is obviously a bit disconcerting and unsafe.
