Anyone know where I can get a hub to fit a Formuling France steering wheel to my 86.5 928?? I have looked around but nothing is available for these wheels anymore. I assume they went under or something, but I love the wheel and would like to put it in my car....

Thanks for the input!

Is that the brand and actual model of the steering wheel?
If not, do you know what they are?

If you can provide dimensions of what is needed, someone might be able to compare those to adapters to see if one could be used, or modified to be used. I think I have a momo somewhere to compare to.

Stan,

The Formuling is weird because it has 9 screws attaching the wheel to the hub. Here is a picture of a wheel so you can see the arrangement. I will go out to the garage and measure it to see what the hub measurements are. This has always been my favorite wheel, although it does not look as cool as some today, and I would love to be able to use it again.

Okay, measured the wheel. From #1 to #4 (1/3rd of the way around) is 3 5/16", the hub is about 4 1/4" across, and just going from #1 to #2 is about 1 5/16".

I guess I could just get a new wheel, but this one has some sentimental value, so if anyone knows a way that I could use it, I would be a happy camper. :D Otherwise, I guess I will put it on the wall and go buy a Momo. :cool:

Do you have the adapter that it came with? I would expect you could have some weld the top half of that adapter to the bottom half of a Momo adapter. You would need to get a Momo adapter for a 928 and then cut it apart.

Keep in mind that there is a reasonable chance that an adapter for your wheel to the 928 never existed.

If you send me the wheel and a Momo adapter for a 928 I'll make it work for you fairly easily. Ed
