vw0064 its on the other bit like barls said and u will c it next year aswell, thats if i dont get another 1
I run the autotechnica bos and don't have a problme they are probably 150mm long? and with the momo race wheel have no problems (would be nice to be 50mm longer, but thats cause i have short arms!!!)
so u wouldnt wanna swap then
This is a common problem with all aluminium steering wheel bosses...
I have made a spacer from another boss... and I know of other people who have done the same thing because the boss isn't thick enough and the
steering wheel is too flat...
The steel bosses are long enough.....

Nope i like my race wheel. and the boss kit is ok. Is yours the earlier boss or the later (during the superbug era they changes to teh golf boss size)
Problem kinda solved all i need now is slightly longe bolts 4 a bit more bite, ive made a spacer if you are interested, i think mine is a steel 1 not aluminium, its way 2 heavy 4 it 2 be, it looks like cast iron on the outside 2, now i just gotta get the horn bit 2 work properly
problem 2 horn shorts out on coloum every 1 elses ive seen has about a 3mm gap how have u done this??? mine sits flat on the thing
i dunno if this helps...but i modded a sports mazda wooden wheel by drilling out the orig spline....then i cut my old vw wheel up turned the vw spline
down to size(slightly larger than the mazda hole) then using a 3 tonne press, i pushed it in....works a treat..

Many people put a push button under the dash on in the dash for the horn.... as the boss kits etc can be a problem..
If they work its usually good luck....
You can get longer bolts from bolt shops,,,,,
Stainless steel Allen headed screws look good and don't tarnish or rust...
