I recently purchased a momo wheel and hub adapter for my '91 which was originally equipped with an airbag.
At first it was a very tight fit -- and while driving the hub would rub the plastic on the column, which caused all sorts of problems. Difficult to turn, the wheel wouldn't center itself after a turning, almost like no power steering at all. Reminded me of a friends '68.

I'd read horror stories (to me anyway) about people having to trim an inch of plastic from the steering column away jsut so it would fit properly.
I was not about to do that. Instead I took the hub off and turned it on a lathe. Removed about 1/2" ? Basically flush with the inner surface as you see in the pic. Whalla ! perfect fit -- plenty of threads to grab, and just as smooth turning as stock.

Sorry I didn't take any before pics -- but if you have one it should be clear enough.

 

At last someone who's had the same problem as me, the guy i bought the adapter from insists it should fit but you & i know it dont!

Did they enlarge the housing to accommodate the airbag mechanism maybe?

Does no one make an adapter that actually fits?

 

Techincially, I suppose yes, it does fit - I drove around and tested it after all . . . but no, to my knowledge no company makes one that fits and looks stock.

I really recommend getting the momo hub turned - it took a machinist maybe 5 mins on a lathe and cost about 20 bux for a fit and finish second to none.

good luck. I get many compliments on the wheel now.

 

Where did you get those rings for the gauges at? Or did you have them made?

 

Yeah, those are super nice.
Good job with the wheel, I'll keep that in mind.

 

Yes a few members and myself requested these be custom made. Problem was about 100.00 for a set of 4 I don't think many were interested.

The rings were available at this website some time ago - not sure what the current status is . . . here's the thread where it all started https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/body...unds-like.html

 

I love those rings 100 bucks aint that bad, but most people would complain about the price
