rs 4 spoke steering wheel

[ZetecTinaLee]

ive got the old ford autos steering conversion on my cortina and i want to fit an rs 4 spoke steering wheel but its a hex fitment instead of spline does anyone know if theres anyway i can fit it :thumbsup

The hex fitting is for an RST I think. I'm sure I've seen a 4 spoke wheel in a Capri so maybe there is a splined wheel available?

yer for an rst i have seen them on other old fords so throught there may be a way of fitting it

You need a boss to fit I have a rs one for the mk2 escort but it wont fit the mk1, Thease are rare as rocking horse poo so they dont come cheep, If you are interested give me a email. I thought the mk2 and mk1/capri were the same hence I have a expensive door stop.

A question. is the 4 spoke wheel a 2 piece item or is it all in one?

[john_3.0s]

the one i have that i think is from an rs turbo has a boss that you can remove. I cant afford a propper rs one so got my eyes on a momo one and ill just re- drill it to suit the wheel

I have a four spoke wheel from an rs 1 600i which has a separate ford motor sport boss (hex fitting)which i have yet to fit to my mk1 fiesta (splined).I,ll do this by using a mk2 fiesta colomn modified slightly to suit.

It may be cheaper to modify your column to suit the boss you have(just a thought)

There must be hundreds of wheel bosses about for fords, I found one in my shed last week

 

I would say adapting the boss to suit the wheel would be favourite

The hex bosses are 2 a penny, try ebay, it's the splined ones that are rare, |Mk2 escort ones fetch £50 pluss , Mk3/4 escort make a tenna on a good day

remove the rubber centre and there is 6 bolts holding it all together, no other boss fits they are all to small a PCD but i used a mountney boss with an adapter ring with 2 sets of holes to fit the wheel to me cortina
