Hello..
Just wondering if anyone here knows where to get a streering hub extender? - To give the steering wheel more reach. I found some on a Japanese website some time ago but cant seem to remember where. I'm planning to go a group buy if anyone here is interested.
*help.. my knuckes are hurting from the indicator stalk*
I know technotoytuning have em, but they are out of stock (the new ones are a couple of weeks away) so i've decided to look for a Japanese soultion.
Thanks
James

How do these things work?
And what do you do with the wires running to the steering wheel, like horn, etc?

Hi wagonist..
The main ring (bolts to the boss kit) has 2 grub screws (180 apart) that lock on to the grooves on the threaded center piece.
There is another locking ring that goes close to the main ring to supply some tention on the threads.
The horn just plugs in. The wire from the boss kit seems to be long enough.

I don't have a single wire going to my steering wheel.
There's a 6 or 7 pin plug on each side.
Airbag, cruise control, horn.

Hmm...
I'm not too sure how to interface the any new wheel with all that. But if you can get your steering wheel on a boss kit, this add on shouldnt be difficult.

Ben,
i was just wondering where you obtained that piece of material which is holding those 2 gauges next to your instrument cluster? (love the wiring through the air con control hole )
Hub looks awesome.

They Are SpecoMeter ones, Part #541-02
Got them from autopro when i got the Specometer oil temp and preassure guages, not expensive.
BTW im too lazy to take the dash off to make the wiring neater.
Cheers
Ben.

Im 6"3 and the seat has to be back and down so i dont hit my head on the roll cage,
i measured last night there is 140mm from the indicator stork to the back of the steering wheel so its just right for me.
As for the boss kits im sure its the same as an AE92 Corolla so most auto shops are able to get them.
Ben.
