Steering wheel

[dr_broon]

Hello all. 

I'm looking for a bit of help. I've just bought a bargain momo wheel, which after a wee bit of TLC it's looking much better. 

Problem is, I don't get how the horn connects up. All of the how to guides (including @10000rpm fine one on here) and videos seem to show 2 wires from the horn... This one only has 1 which is wired to a brass ring on the boss. 

 

So in the horn part, there's a brass spring which looks like it could turn the body of the wheel / boss into the ground / close the circuit when the button is pressed, but I'm not sure how this connects up to the OEM connections. 

Anyone have any clues?

Can the earth wire not just be run down to a convenient earth point nearby mate? Don't think the earth has to be on the wheel itself?

Oh and nice wheel btw! Is it the momo race? Used to have one, nice bit of kit!

It's a Momo competition. Looking forward to getting it fitted. I had a Peugeot 309 briefly that had a nice momo wheel on, but the car got scrapped and I never thought to take the wheel off.  

 

Dunno.. Think I'm going to have to just get stuck in and see what happens.

Well, wheel's on. 

Need to fit the resistor for the air bag, and as naz's guide I need a brass strap to get the power to the brass ring on the boss. 

 

 

Love it, feels tip top

That looks mint mate!! Nice chunky wheel, will be totally different to drive.

Sure is.. Lovely 

 

Thought it would make the steering harder, but it isn't noticeable. The old wheel weighs a ton!

Don't ya just love the feeling a sporty steering offers ......IMO they change the driving experience completely.
