Changing the steering wheel on my GT3

[armynick]

Help!!!

I want to change the issued Momo wheel for the momo millenium. The issued wheel and boss were made as one off for the esprit and momo don't do a boss for this car.

Anyone know what to do next? I can't be the first to try this. If I have to get something machined, what and where?

Cheers

Nick

and on johan hybinette's site:

hi nick,

i changed my lotus (nardi) original wheel to a momo a few months ago and came across the same problem! ie. the hub was not available.... when i took the lotus wheel off, fortunately, as u will see from the photos, i got a pleasant surprise! just use the link below to my website...

hope this helps...

rgds,

ps. my esprit is an S4, and it is an aussie version, and as such, may differ a bit...

Does anyone have information on a steering wheel swap for a V8 --keeping the airbag????

check this site out for part numbers to replace your steering wheel to the Momo Millenium. i ordered mine through SJ Sportscars but you can order from the factory as well. however, it's a bit costly.

as for the steering wheel with airbag, check moto-concept. i think they have one.

I'm not having much luck here lads.

Lotus do not do any parts which are compatable, nor does Momo.

All the sites that list the changes are abroad with different models. There is the site in the US (

Does the OEM Momo wheel have the Lotus or Momo logo for the horn button?
Thanks
