Anyone know whether the handbrake and gearlever threads are a "standard fitment", as I think I might change them for carbon items ( or being a tight-arse carbon-look more like!)
Also I put an extended 4 position steering wheel spacer on my old 3R but I can't find the paperwork to buy another one. It was Demontweeks and possibly the OMP version, does this sound right, and will it fit the standard wheel as I might get it re-covered in alcantara.
Ta!
Edited for crap spelling as I can't type

Andy -my guess is that they are standard threads. Can't really see these items as being bespoke.
As for steering wheels, have a word with Mr Noble - to the best of my knowledge he's brought more steering wheels than we've had hot dinners (not sure he's actually fitted one, though).biggrin

So Mr.Noble if you're not out driving your car any ideas please? Saw your car at Kerridges when I was sorting mine out,complete with its Le Mans livery intactWish I'd bloody looked at the steering wheel now!
Originally on my old car had a Momo Sport wheel which was lovely, but quite fancy an alcantara one this time and need to get a spacer to bring the wheel closer to me hence my original question.

My car is still at Kerridges if you want to pop in and see my superb new wheel smile


Any "momo" fittment wheel will fit (which is most of them) and auto interiors will trim you a nice new centre thingy in alcantara with the Noble logo embroided in it.

On the spacer front, cut and paste this into google, hit UK only and it throws up a few places.

I ordered mine from rallynuts and although they say that momo have sent it to me twice, I've still never had it! I'm using one I made/butchered at the mo.

Cheers Greg,who makes the original wheel, I'm sure my original spacer was OMP, are they a subsidary of Momo?

OMP is a different co, but all companies (read most) use the same stud pattern so they all fit all bosses.

You can buy a wheel spacer from 10 different companies but I had trouble finding just a 10mm or 15mm one. Many are huge, like 40-100mm which is no use to us as you then can't reach the indicator stalks!!

Yep, I had a 60mm spacer on the 3r, couldn't reach the stalks, but decided it was a small price to pay for a decent driving position.
Cheers for your help.
