Det_Riot Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Found a smoking deal on a ford racing sparco steering wheel. Well I'm considering pulling the trigger on it since I need to replace my steering wheel anyways. I was wondering aside from the steering wheel, what else do I need to run an aftermarket wheel?Looks like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1997cobra Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I would imagine some sort of hub to mount the steering wheel. Do you have cruise control and all that jazz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Nah, it doesn't work so I'm not concerned about that. I figured if I want a horn I'd have to rig up a button but idk what hub, or anything that I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRoush Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 you need a sparco hub or one that matches up to the same bolt pattern. they label the hubs for foxes only but the fox hub is what you need.I'll go into more detail later, with my woman right now.

CompOrangeSN95 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 You'll need an adapter hub. I removed everything because racecar and welded a new spline onto my steering shaft to mount my quick release. Brett would have a better answer for you since his is in a road car (all be it a wicked fast one) and looks much cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iRoush Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Alright so.... in order for you to do this correctly you're going to need a hub that will bolt up to the wheel. From my understanding, the same hub that I have, the MOMO Steering Hub will work. If you do not want a quick release the MOMO hub is perfect for you. For most people that are not astronomically tall a MOMO hub and a Quick Release will put the wheel into your chest which is not the optimal positioning. For me it worked perfect since i have long arms and legs, but, I'm an exception to this rule. If you want a quick release order the NRG Slim Hub and NRG Quick Release, it will keep the wheel at a good position.As for wiring up a horn, I didn't even try to do so on mine, you're going to have to fabricate your own wiring for it.

So if you run the quick release, you have to the other hub as well? You can't run just the quick release?Also do they make anything to fill in that gap behind the hub or would that have to be fabricated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
