Hey, i found an old steering wheel in my uncles loft, he said i could have it, and i'd like to fit it, but i have no idea what it is, so i can't get a boss kit for it. Can anyone help me out?

you don't need a boss kit for that wheel. just remove your current one and it fits onto the steering column and you just tighten the nut on top of it. have one in my garage that was on the car until my wife bought me a john cooper motolita signature wheel for a wedding pressie!

when you undo the nut holding the wheel on, don't remove it fully, undo it so it is towards the end of the thread then tap the wheel towards you, otherwise you will end up with a wheel in the face and probably a nose bleed, which won't be good! lol, hope tha helps mate!

a big one, most of the nuts have got punch marks where they have been removed with a drift and hammer in the past, we've all seen the bodgers marks

And the prize goes to lowandslow, just got round to fitting the thing, and it didn't fit the column. Was a tad too small.
