S14 steering wheel hub adaptors

[Kitahara]

I guess the title and description says it all. &nbsp;Anyone have experience installing a momo steering wheel on an S14? &nbsp;What are you supposed to do when there don't seem to be hub adaptors available? &nbsp;Use an 89-94 hub adaptor? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

I have the same problem. Part of the reason is because S14's have airbags. It is against the law to remove your airbag.

Did u buy the wheel yet?
I'm not sure how hard it is to remove a wheel w/ and airbag but I'm pretty sure finding a shop to do it will be difficult.

Job one would be to remove the wheel and see what you're looking at, I doubt you'll find many people who have done this as most would rather have an airbag then a momo wheel.

Also, momo wheels have a steel (or aluminum) core which doesn't deform under impact (w/ your body in an accident) so the adapter does, otherwise I'd suggest checking a FSM on wheel removal, removing it and fabing up an adapter...

But I guess since you're loosing the airbag you're not too worried about safety so maybe fab an adapter out of:
-1 round 1/8" Al plate w/ column bolt-hole
-1 round 1/2" Al plate w/ momo bolt pattern and 3" hole thru center.
-4" Long piece of 3" x 1/8" Al tubing (maybe smaller OD based on horn button hole + a bit)
-Weld everything together
-Put a jam nut on the steering column
-Put the assembly on and bolt her together...

Check out the following site:

Importnut.net/steeringswap.htm

My MOMO hub kit has numbers 018+0125 and 12112113508 on it. &nbsp;It is not for s14 but works.

btw, I hooked up my horn using the method described in the above website and eventually the wire got wrapped up, cut through wire insulation, and horn started going off.

I think I saw it somewhere that you can use the S13 hub for S14. And the MOMO part number for the hub is mm3508.
Hope this helps.

Neat <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;My write up is spreading around!

As to the comment about the wiring getting tangled, yes, I had the same problem. &nbsp;I'm currently working on a way to resolve that problem. &nbsp;More than likely, I'll end up using the slip ring that Momo provided with the hub. &nbsp;I'll probably pick up a brass or copper piece from a hobby shop and make the contact for the slip ring.

I will be updating that write up as soon as I work out the details.

Another point: &nbsp;I do not believe that it is illegal to remove the air bags. &nbsp;It's not legal for a shop to do it, but you can do it. &nbsp;If your insurance co. finds out, you may end up paying some form of premium since you get deductions for having airbags. &nbsp;

However, I think airbags are for wussies. &nbsp;Get a harness and have fun. &nbsp;You'll be safer with a good racing harness than you would with an airbag.
