Yeah well they said they have one that fits (at supercheap) but he said it needs some kind of adapter or it won't work and yeap they do sell the autotechnica one. Has anyone else had this kind of trouble??

my girlfriend brought me a wheel and boss for my sprinter 4 my birthday, she managed to get one that had no dramas with indicator clerance (thats what you need the spacer from supercheap for). its from auto 1 and it is made by an italian company that i have never heard of and cant remember its name. so try auto 1 and when they give you a blank look keep trying cause they do have one.

How bizzarre! I was just down at Supercheap Auto tonite and was asking them if they had any spacers ... got a blank look:
"As far as I know, only the boss and the wheel go together ... nothing else inbetween ..." 
Anyway, I shall get my 5mm spacer for my Autotecnica Boss this Saturday. $110 but at least it's a quality product from Racegear Revolution with the right clearance for me.
Unfortunately I will have to ditch my existing Autotecnica wheel and upgrade to a MOMO or something with similar boltings - I'll give it to the Autotecnica boss though as they are compatible with MOMO and the likes.
I spoke briefly with the guys at Racegear Revolution and they apparently told me that ADR regulations only allow the boss to be the same size as the original wheel, which probably explains why we don't get Sprinter boss that are extended ... not here in Australia anyway ...

FWIW, just a quick update ... Lil_Mic's right with the Autotecnica part number.
I finally splashed out and blew my budget for the week but getting a 5mm spacer. This meant having to get a Momo steering wheel however I was able to retain the Autotecnica boss - testimony as to its great value being able to fit all sorts of steering wheels. I believe that it's $80 price is good value considering Momo boss kits probably go for over $100 and can only fit their own brand wheels.
Not sure about the SAAS ones but I'd assume that they also have drillings to fit Momo as well.
Now I just have to get a horn cover.
